This is a very old song John, and sang then more as a spiritual , but became popular on the radio around the Fifties. Recorded by several. including Harry Belafonte, Peter, Paul and Mary. :)

John I'm surprised you don't know that one, it was very popular and also recorded by The Kingston Trio.

I did know it, but I do not think I would have guessed it--but strangely enough, I could see "Michael" as the first word--but assumed I was wrong !!
