Sinsull, does your recording Frankie Laine have the line "a wandering fool or a heart at rest" or a "wandering foot"?   I loved this song when I was small and still have my Dad's original 78 RPM of it, can't remember the artist right now, but I believe recorded earlier than Frankie's version. I always sing it as a "wandering foot", but have seen it transcribed as "fool" and wondered if it was a misheard word, on my part, or the recording I have differs from Laine's version.
