I sang the song many many years (1962 -64) ago as a scout I was told that the words were HEY HO ANYBODY HOME MEAT AND DRINK AND MONEY HAVE I NONE YET I WILL BE HAAAPPY HEY HO ANY BODY HOME.We were told it was an old Canadian mountie song that they sang whilst paddling canoes. The idea was to start softly through loud & back to soft. So the audience thought they were stood on a bank watching as we went by. Keith
