Melody. The melody of this song is a fairly old one. The first song (as far as I know) to use this melody was The Ship That Never Returned, written in 1865 by Henry Clay Work. Work also wrote the more well-known song My Grandfather's Clock (and there are some similarities in melody between the two). The more famous use of this melody was in The Wreck of Old #97.
