OLD STILLHOUSE IS BURNING DOWN [3], THE. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA, Missouri. In the repertoire of Bill Graves. Unrelated to other "Old Stillhouse..." tunes. Graves sang the following verse to the tune (compare with "Pretty Polly Ann" and "Shortening Bread"):

Put on the tea pot, put on the pan;
I'm going to marry you, pretty Polly Ann.
The old still house is all burnt down,
The old still house is all burnt down.
