Subject: RE: Origins: Wandering (Early and Late)
I think Walt's tune (and text) were essentially those published in Sandburg's Songbag. I certainly began singing it about that time and may have picked it up first from Walt, and utilized his chords, too. Paul Clayton created a verse I like to include:
I wake up in the mornin', Haven't got a dime. Don't know where I'm goin', But I'm gonna take my time, And it looks like, I'm never gonna cease My wanderin'.
