Hi, Carl - I saw a tune for "Cremation of Sam McGee" in a Jerry Silverman songbook I wish I had bought. Hank Snow, the Canadian cowboy singer, did recordings of Robert W. Service poems set to music, and so did Country Joe McDonald. Click here to get to one previous thread on Robert W. Service. Also here
Here is a thread about Hugh D'Arcy's "Face on the Floor," which many people confuse with Service's work.
