[Dixielandjazz] Song title

[Gerard Bielderman]

Below the complete text of this song, as I taped it way back in November 
1961 from BBC's "Trad Tavern".

WRESTLING TILL THE WAGON COMES (as sung by Ottilie Patterson & Chris Barber)

OP: Listen here, daddy, you don't treat your mama right

You know you stay out late, come home and beat me up every night

CB: You know I beat you, I dog you, I treated you mean as I could

OP: Yes, he beats me and mistreats me

CB: Mama, you know it does you good

I only stayed out until half past three

OP: When he come home he tried to ignore me

CB: Now listen here, mama, you're so jealous, you have made me sore

OP: Hear, daddy, here's something that I want you to know

Don't get so drunk, baby, don't get so drunk, baby, don't get so drunk,

I say that you don't know me

But if you take my money, believe me, it ain't funny

I'll knock your head until the wagon comes

CB: Now it ain't no use you're argueing, I said it just ain't no use you're 
argueing, oh, it ain't no use you're argueing, and baby you know just what I 
mean

OP+CB: And if you don't act straight, I'm gonna ruin' your state

and we'll be wrestling till the wagon comes.



It should be from 1926. Who knows the composer and textwriter?
