The song was popular in the ranching country of the Hawaiian Islands. The singer of the song in the link by Masato thought it came off an old phonoraph record- 1930s? Kindy Sproat is dead now, I understand.
Odd to have it show up in Edmonton. I am in Calgary. You are the only respondant in 1 1/2 years.
No idea yet what the history of the song is.
I will tape it for you if you wish.
