Hearing the "Hambone" recently reminded me of the Crawdad Song. Remember that?
You get a line and I'll get pole, Honey
You get a line and I'll get a pole, Babe.
You get a line and I'll get a pole and
We'll go down to the crawdad hole,
Honey, Oh Babe of mine.
Sometime in the mid-'Fifties I heard this sung as a cadence as a platoon marched by. This instead of the usual "Sound Off!" Either at Ft. Hood or Ft. Carson.

Well, looky here!
