Same Tune Different Lyrics and Jody Miller

What does the kids' songs ABC, Ba Ba Black Sheep and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star have in common?  They all have the same tune but different lyrics.Below is a song (with a different tune) sung by Roger Miller titled "King Of The Road":

Now enter Jody Miller. I have had seen Jody Miller one year performing at the Ohio State Fair while Jody was singing I took out my binoculars for a closer look. Jody spotted me and smiled (ear to ear ) at me. Hey, Jody Miller smiled at me if we had twitter back then I would be definitely be tweeting about it. :)

In 1968 : Jody Miller volunteered to perform at the naval hospital in Chicago,Illinois. It was about 9:30 PM when she entered our hospital room and we were also told that she was also one of the  dancers from "The Gary Moore Show" a fact I did not know.

Unfortunately, when she was finish performing she did not receive any applause what so ever, it was late and we were  all tired. I haven't felt so guilty in my life, even to this day.

Maybe, if we weren't so rude , we could  probably have gotten  pre-sign personally signed  autograph pictures.I am just hoping that Jody forgave us; Anyway, it was cool to have her in the same room with us.

Below is a song titled "Queen Of The House" sung by Jodi Miller using Roger Miller's "King Of The Road" tune:

Below is a song titled "Wolverton Mountain" sung by Claude King this song is in stereo but the 45 RPM shown in the picture is not, it would have been posted on the label:

This song  below is titled: "I'm The Girl From Wolverton Mountain" sung by Jo Ann Campbell using Claude King's tune but with different lyrics: 
     I'm The Girl From Wolverton Mountain

This song below titled again  "Wolverton Mountain" with Claude King's lyrics but this time sung and played by Louie Armstrong a jazz singer.Have no idea what this song's genre is ,but it seems to me it is country with a mix  of  the blues and jazz:
