That suggests that the name, if one ever existed for this tune, has been lost in the mists of time. Copyright convention dictates that if K. Lee Scott actually knew what the tune was called he SHOULD have used its proper name
Have you searched for information on the arranger? Such a search may throw more light on the subject
True, and I'd been toying with the idea of seeing if I could contact K. Lee Scott, and ask where s/he found the tune.
Thanks for everyone's feedback! I was hoping someone might know the words that might be more familiarly (well, not to me) set to that particular tune. Even knowing that might be a little bit of help. My wife & I well know that the origins of most "traditional" or "folk" tunes are indeed usually lost in the mists of time, as you say.
