Subject: RE: Lyr Add: The Troubadour Song (sung by Burl Ives)
Jim Dixon referred to this song being published in English Dance & Song. It was in the October 1965 issue, where the notes state: "Reprinted from the New Song Fest, first published by Crown Publishers Inc, New York in 1937, by kind permission of Richard L. Best. Richard Best adds: "I learned the song from a student, and have no idea where he found it. I had heard it before, and I suspect that he found it in a collection. If you could find a more authoritative source you might get closer to some original."
