Hello all,

"I think you are talking about the Holstein dialect version Hannes Wader
performs."

I think that's it!! I "had" both the tape and words to the song, but
unfortunately now have no idea where they are! The name sounds very
familiar, and after seeing the other versions you posted, I believe it is
indeed a "jazzed up" version of a popular folk tune. On the tape, I believe
it's him with a guitar on this song, but on others there are fiddle ,
harmonica, spoons and auto-harp. With some of the tunes and the instruments
used, along with the style of playing, you can see where some of American
"Country & Western" got its roots!
