Heard this done by some Canadian folks years ago, as response to the wellwishers. Tune is a trad melody minor or modal. Refrain starts out with 'Have a nice day, have a nice day..'

Could it be Greg Brown's song, "I don't want to have a nice day"? It's on his "Live One" cd and copyrighted 1995. Oops, maybe thta is too recent for the one you are looking for?

There's a truly wicked minor song called HAVE A NICE DAY right here, in the DT database. Could it be that one? It's written by Seattle area folksinger Mark Graham, and could have made its way across the border pretty easily. It's probably closely related to a hymn tune, since many of Mark's songs are.
Blessings,
