Thirty four years ago I married and changed the lyric I had written in 1948..It's now, "I called my wife, 'Joy of my life'. I heard it originally, at the home of the Leonards of Allentown, sung in what was either low German or high Yiddish. The melody was very much like "Oleanna". I changed the melody to a version of "Bah, Bah, Black Sheep", sang it on my radio show on which Pete was my guest. He recorded it, as he remembered it. and I've been grateful to him ever since.
