I've got troubles, and maybe someone can help.

I submitted my rendition of Beans, Bacon and Gravy to Amos for inclusion in the forthcoming Mudcat CD(s), along with two other songs.
I need to provide clearance to Amos as to copyright, Public Domain, or whatever.

I've Googled this title and, while I found some references, don't find any listing that shows who wrote it or when. I've known and sung this song for about fifty years now, and I don't have any idea where I learned it. It's in the DT, with two presumably PD tunes, but no notation as to who, if anyone identifiable, wrote the words.

I found a listing that says it appears on two Pete Seeger (PeteSeeger04 and PeteSeeger13), but I don't happen to have those recordings to see how it is attributed there.

Can anyone help with attribution of this great old song?
