OK.
Not much progress but have tracked down a refernce to what must be the archive material in the American Folk life catalogue

(not sure if this URL is durable...)
http://memory.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/afc9999005-search?view=thumbnail&query=wilmington&sort=titlesort&memberOf=afc9999005&field=all

if not go to here:
http://memory.loc.gov/diglib/ihas/html/afccards/afccards-home.html
and seach for Wilmington in the seach box.

I think the song I'm after must be 'Going' every step of the way'...
I should prob start a seperate thread...

Trewk.
