I'm happy to have a discussion of 'Peter's Spring' or any other alpine song here, but I posted today not just to announce that I had found the English word-set in two collections of camp songs, but also to keep alive the question of whether we could identify a German-language original for it.

Does it somewhat remind anyone else of the Croatian song 'Kmetic' veselo v svetigi z'ivi'?

Mudcatters from Deutschland, Austria, Switzerland--how say ye?
