Thanks, Susan, but I already know the tune; I sent it to Joe as a NWC file back in March. (I'll send him a message and see if he can put a link to the tune in this thread.) What I'd like to know is who wrote the song. If you do find it in your spirituals books, that would be great. From the references to "scat" and "Jerry Lee", and its musical style, I'd suspect it was written sometime in the '50s or early '60s. But I'd really appreciate having any information about the song. I love singing it (sounds great with an improvisational doo-wop backup chorus!), and as a sometime songwriter I like to give credit when I can. I hope the 'Cat will come through this time!

Aloha,
Mark
