Looking for a Tennessee Ernie Ford song

The song was about a woman in a pond with no clothes on and he guy comes by and starts talking to her and she tells him to go on so she can get out and she reaches down and gets a dish pan, wash tub and holds it up in front of her and the guy says I bet you think there is a bottom in the pan/tub. Can you tell me the name of the song and where it can be found. +Thank you, Tammy
