When I was a kid, I used to have ukelele songbook with this song in it. And I remeber a verse that started
'The redman was presssed from this part of the west
Ti unlikely he'll ever return'
I suppose it must have too racist and controversial even for the 1930's. Or perhaps it made the song too long.
