Hi Wolfgang.

The melody is the same as that on Royston and Heather Woods' 'No Relation' (with Bellamy joining in) except that they beef up the chorus a bit. They refer to it in the notes as 'an American traditional song'. When listening to the record to check for you, it went on to the medieval plainchant 'Gloria Laus' (Roysten and Heather as duet) - I'd forgotten how lovely that is too!

Regards, Stewie.
