Kathy,This song was released on "The Lollipop Tree" (At least here in Australia). Yes it was Burl Ives. I know I had this but I will have to do a bit of a search. As I actually was thinking of doinhg a few of the songs off this album it will be a good excuse to pull my finger out. If I find it and no one else has come up with the goods I'll post the lyrics.
