I've transcribed this from the video posted by Guest (Lisa Shutt?). It is NOT from either of the books identified with this song. The title is my best guess, based on the lyrics. Again, I've not seen either of the books cited as containing it.

I'm not 100% sure that the ABC is correct; I created it "by hand", rather than with any of the applications, so it is untested.
