heard it as a small boy Near Mcalister OK. From a seven year-old girl who was the daughter of the midwife who delivered me. I was five at the time. I located this same "girl"a few days ago. (she's now a grand mother of course) She didn't remember the title or any of the words. She did vaguely remember once knowing a song like that. As Sorcha said it sounds Appalachian in origin or maybe even Australian. Any ideas?
