Thanks to all of you for your help in trying to solve this " musical mystery", but am about to give up on it.

I wonder if anyone at Folk Legacy records would know of this?

The impression I had at the time was that it was not an old recording, and I know I had heard or read something about the "ephing" sound in the lyrics. Can't help but wonder too, if maybe there was some problem with "political incorrectness" (although there seemed nothing offensive in it that I remember), or maybe some copyright problem, or something...oh well, maybe an old man's faulty memory...

Thanks again, HANROD
