On the album "Bright Shining Morning", Lou and Sally Killen sing "Pleasant and Delightful" to a somewhat different tune than usual--one which I much prefer. The final line of each verse is not sung complete before a refrain-like section. Rather, considering the last line to be split into two parts (D & E) the pattern is: ABCDDDE. The usual pattern is ABCDE DDDE.

In the [1975] liner notes, Mr. Killen says:
"Not long after I'd learned it [the full song], my friend Paul Carter, now of Bristol, presented me with this tune, to the same set of words, but much sweeter to harmonize."

Is anyone able to trace this variant back any farther than Paul Carter, or know if Mr. Carter tweedled it himself? There is enough resemblance in the tail ends of both that they appear to be variants rather than disparate tunes.

Some minor editorial corrections to the DT text (which must be the Rovers' rather than the Killens' version):
verse 2, line 2: truelove = true love
verse 2, line 3: load = loud
verse 3, line 4: Two sentences: question and reply

Thanks in advance...
