lyrics to Joe Bass's song in the opening


In the opening scene, I remember Burt Lancaster (Joe Bass) riding along, casually singing this little ditty about something like; "My father was a baptist, my mother was a jew, etc. etc." Does anybody know the rest of the lyrics or where I can find them?

Here you go,

My mother was a Baptist, boys My father was a Jew
My sister married an orphan at the battle of Waterloo
Don't ever kiss a Hindu, boys unless you are engaged
True love is never found with girls who dance upon the stage
Andy Jackson saw a bear And chased him up a tree
The hound dog would have caught the fox, If he of hadn't stopped to pee.
