Well I was assuming BM...as I learned it from the Cisco Houston Songbook which I lost shortly after learning most of the tunes in 1968, and he was mates with Woodie, I just assumed wrong I guess...trad sounds more correct but I wonder about Lee Hays being the original author no matter what the net says..LOL...but that's just cynical old me speaking.. ...he was more a recorder of other folks tunes than a composer if memory serves.. ...

 

Once in a while I look around,
I see a sound
and try to write it down
Sometimes they come out very soft
Tinkling light sound
The Sun comes up again
