While older than the oldest recording of Revive Us Again (see there), probably written as a light-weight parody on that all too serious (and all too popular) hymn. Carl Sandburg first heard it at the water tanks of railroads in Kansas in 1897 and in the wheat fields of Pawnee County.
Covers:
Vernon Dalhart [top 10 US]
Frank Luther [see also: Revive Us Again]
Al Jolson [top 20 US]
Pete Seeger [while the song had been picked up by the I.W.W. with extra verses]
