Hi, Bob-
I added the complete lyrics to your post, just so people wouldn't get confused and think they had the whole song. As far as I can see, the song hadn't been posted at Mudcat before.

It's clear that the song is based on "We Are Coming, Father Abraham," but I'm wondering if "Abraham" may be based on an earlier song.
