I find it hard to believe, but the mystery has been solved. After all these years. I can only say thank god for the mudcat. Thanks also to Guest RTim it was his version that came closest to what I knew. A few words different here and there, but that's probably just the way that people sing the song.

Once again, I must thank you. It really has been thirty odd years since I had the words to this song. Now to dust off the old guitar!
