Just listened to a slightly more polished version of this song on this Smithsonian Folkways release: http://www.folkways.si.edu/albumdetails.aspx?itemid=897

Are there many versions with alternate titles out there too? I know Sonny has said St. Thomas is based a traditional Virgin Islands melody, but I don't think I'd ever heard anyone name specific songs which use the melody.
