I remember this from a songbook we used in grade school. Later I saw it featured in It Happened One NIght, that great old film with Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert...
Well, in terms of recordings, almost but not quite. The song was originally written and published in 1867. Funnily enough, the original subject of the song is trapeze performance pioneer Jules Léotard, a famous acrobat of the time, and the namesake of the leotard. The first audio recording of the song was by the Victor Mixed Chorus, for _Songs of the Past - No. 19._ The second known recording, however, was indeed this one by Harry McClintock.
They knew about 304's even back then. It's just a lesson that shows that you should only want a girl that chases after you, never the other way around.
