I have always been told that the term--Tenaha, Timpson, Bobo and Blair. Was called out by conductors on trains in the area, and that the men serving in World War One picked it up as something you say when shooting dice (such as "Ada from Decatur-County seat of Wise") One being if you want to shoot ten and the other if you want eight. It supposedly spread around the country during the war and later the song was written. Has anyone else heard this version?? Anne
