Tune Identification...

Hello friends... Does anyone know the tune being played as the main melody in Black 47's "Livin' in America"? I've only ever heard it played in their song so I wonder if it's an old standard or not.

Here's a link to a youtube version of it.

Thanks in advance if anyone knows. Though... it's easy enough to learn it by ear. LOL!

It's The Foggy Dew - it's actually a song, but an old standard for sure
