There is more than one song with the title "Wild Rose of the Mountain." Check the ABC Tunefinder for a list.

The Si Kahn Songbook says that words and music for this particular song were by Si Kahn, copyright 1982 by Joe Hill publishing. When we put this song in the Rise Again Songbook, we licensed it from Joe Hill Publishing. Until I see documentation to the contrary, I will continue to believe that Si Kahn wrote this song.

We get posts quite often that insist that "my grandfather wrote this song." If I don't see documentation, I'm not likely to believe the claims.
