Cool sounding place names

Here's Hank Snow performing the song. Well worth watching! (Great suit! I've got to get me one like that!) Hank Snow was from Nova Scotia (near where I live) and long before he became a country music star he and his band toured all the little dance halls of Nova Scotia. My father remembers seeing him at a dance -- the cover charge was 25 cents!

Here is the Australian version performed by Lucky Starr who had a hit with it in 1962. And here's the original by Geoff Mack.

It seems to me Boxcar Willie also had a version after Hank Snow and Johnnie Cash.

Here's a listing of some wacky town names in the USA: http://www.infoplease.com/spot/wackytowns.html They aren't anywhere as wacky as the Newfoundland ones I linked to near the beginning of this thread.
