From asking him before, my father said he learned it from his father... Beyond that, he wasn't sure. He thought it could have been brought by our family when they moved from Ireland. But, he thought it was more likely an Irish-American tune, from the locals. This is pretty interesting becasue we're in northern PA, just off the NY border...

Do you have the lyrics to your version? I'll ask around and see what I can find on ours if you're interested...

Thanks a lot for helping me out.
