Way back in the dark ages (1947 or so), I had a band called The Wanderers--we did square dances and some small concertizing. Our wind-up song (and our theme) was a little-known hobo's song called Wandering. Then Sammy Kaye came out with a pop version, and we had to switch.
So we took a nice little good-night waltz that was familiar to some folkies, but not to the general public. It was called ---let me think now---oh yes, "Goodnight Irene".

Sometimes you can't win for losing.
