I'm anxious to hear Jean get back on this one Amos since the possibility is similar to what I alluded to earlier. The roots of so many Appalchian songs are from that tradition and the Ritchie family's exposure to them make writing something in that style or creating a variant on a piece heard years before is a possibility.

I also heard back from Sandy Paton who is up to his proverbial ass in Alligators at the moment, but ran a copy of the words to share with Caroline too. Nothing ringing bells now, but..........
