Thanks, Gibb. Can anyone offer a suggestion as to how this song may have become "Tingalayo"? How do drastically different variants of a song develop? I understand that ones with a few different names or words changed, but are still recognisable as being derived from an older version, may be due to word of mouth or singers singing what they heard, but what about those versions which are barely recognisable? I could only recognise "Tingalayo" and "Hold Him Joe/My Donkey Wants Water" as similar when I read another post speculating about the similarities and relationship between the two songs.
