Well, what do you know. I've been looking for these lyrics for some time. Like Dennis, my father used to sing this for us (accompanying himself on his ukelele, which I have beside me as I type) during occasional "songfests". His melody was different than the ones in the MIDIs; it would be nice to have the chords to see how they match up with his tune.

This was just one of many songs we sang: "Aura Lee", "It Was Only An Old Beer Bottle", "The King of Caractacus" and "Desperado" (no, not Henley & Frey, but the one with the "war whoop": http://sniff.numachi.com/~rickheit/dtrad/pages/tiDESPRAD2;ttDESPRAD2.html
).

I'm going to a family reunion this weekend; it'll be great to have this. Thanks!
