Irrelevant queston

There are many important questions in life. This isn't one of them.

You know that "Found a Peanut" song, the one sang to the tune of Clementine? I learned this song when I was three, and for 48 years, it never occurred to me that there was more than one way to sing it. So there we were, Kurt, Sadie and I, eating peanuts on the patio and singing, when our words diverged. I sang "found a peanut last night," while he sang "found a peanut yesterday." Sadie, being a dog, quietly waited for Kurt to shell peanuts for her.

Totally threw my world off kilter.

Okay, not really, but here is the question. Did you learn this song, and if so, which way? Also, what part of the country did you learn it in? We are wondering if the difference is regional.
