Dick,

Woody used the traditional tune of Billy the Kid for the stanzas of So Long, It's Been Good to Know You, but as far as I know he composed the tune he used for the refrain. I guess I should have written this instead:

Original words by Woody Guthrie.
Music adapted from the traditional Billy the Kid by Woody Guthrie.

New words by Joel Landy & Stephen L. Suffet © 2001.

Please forgive me. :-)
