I learned this song in grade school in Shawano, Wisconsin, Catholic grade school, around 1960-65.

They definitely had ANTHOLOGIES THAT HAD POLISH, CZECH, HISPANIC, AND OTHER CATHOLIC-COUNTRY-ORIGIN SONGS, but also all-world items like "Our Lady of the Seas" "The Fishermen of Gloucester" and songs like "There's a tiny brown bird in the gable singing" and "Mockingbird, in the old willow tree" and "through the darkness gleaming, lights are dimly beaming, desert folk are sleeping, such a lonely land"

Is there a publisher, like Hal Leonard, who has records of what anthologies might have been published THEN, which might have had these songs in them?
