Has anyone ever heard this song? Just these few lines were sung in a 1965 episode of TV's The Virginian, "The Horse Fighter," and I've drawn a blank at BMI and ASCAP and at Googling them. Was it made up for the show or does the song exist? It went like this (to a waltz tune):

I'll ride through the highlands,
I'll ride through the low,
And I'll meet you someday
Where the green waters flow.

I'm coming up empty. That was episode 13, season 4. Maybe someone with the DVD collection will check it out for credits at the end (?) of the show. Good luck.

No, there's nothing in the credits. It was worked into the score too, so that's why I'm wondering if could just be made up. But it did sound rather like a folksong to me.
