Thanks, Janie. I went that Google path too.
The song, the way Hildebrand learned it, sure sounds as though it might have come from the Bahamas as he was told. Just in fragment form maybe. Several songs from the same place were doing the rounds at the time.
Also as he sings it it flows beautifully without stretching or squashing. I'll see if he will post it note by note. It's short. By the way he uses the same tune for verse and chorus. I'll be back when True-Love wakes up. Cheers, Joy
