Thanks for finding that, #. That leads us right back here to the Digital Tradition, but I can't find anything more about the song. The Digital Tradition says the song comes from Vera Lawrence in her book Music for Patriots, Politicians and Presidents. The song isn't listed in the Traditional Ballad Index, but at least we have a text for it. The Digital Tradition says the tune is Greensleeves, but I can't say the sune fits the lyrics very well.
Anybody know anything else about the song?
