Letter: need help finding lyrics to This Old House

Joyce Coomer writes:
Have have these words to a song running through my head the past couple of days . . .

“This old house ain't got no windows
This old house ain't got no doors
This old house ain't got no people
This old house ain't got no floors.”

Only place I can find the first two lines is in a book -- The Pastures of Beyond: An Old Cowboy Looks Back at the Old West by Dayton O. Hyde. They are attributed to Rex Allen.

I remember people in the neighborhood singing this when I was a kid. Would like to have the entire lyrics.

If anyone has the lyrics or a place I can find them, I'd appreciate it. This isn't the same song that the Statler Brothers recorded -- close but not quite the same. -- Joyce M. Coomer
