That’s ‘The Hills of Île de Haut’, pronounced ‘Isle a-Ho’. And Gordon Bok wrote it.

If you listen carefully to the video, you can hear Dave Symonds sings “Isle a-Ho”, not ‘Idaho’.

Isle au Haut is part of Acadia National Park in Maine. I took the dawn mail boat there one day, along with a boatload of lumberjacks. It was a piece of heaven.

Since Dave got the information, I'm going to close this thread.
But it was a pretty good Mondegreen, wasn't it?
