Wilfried, yes, that might explain why I recall this melody being used as a signature tune on TV. I like the melody, but prefer the "original" words--I can't remember where I heard them first, maybe on a trip to Kiel or Hamburg. I'm always on the lookout for interesting German songs because we often have Germans coming to sessions during the Summer.

Anyway, thanks for all the help.

I'll be away for a few days at the Mudcat meeting in Portaferry, but will look in here again when I get back.
