No FIRMLY CAN I STATE NOW THAT IT IS NOT COPYRIGHT IN THE TUNE BUT IN THE LYRICS WHICH WERE COPYRIGHTED SEPARATE TO THE TUNE IN SHEET MUSIC AND RECORDINGS from 1963. Then a dispute arose over the tune... god there are hundreds of entries discussing the dispute. My father won an out of court settlement with one record company for the use of the lyrics. The tune as far as I'm concerned belongs to Ian Maclachlan. What has never been in dispute is that the words separate to the tune have their own copyright. That is all I ever ask that the are credited to stop the drivel over where they originated from. The copyright issue over the tune is irresolvable
