The Cowboy Waltz (a.k.a., "Log Cabin Home In The Sky")

I'm told this tune is called The Cowboy Waltz. I know it from its use as the tune of "Log Cabin Home In The Sky", a cheerful little song by Mike Heron of The Incredible String Band, which featured on their 1968 album "Wee Tam". If any American (or for that matter, any) reader recognises this tune and knows more about it, please give a hoot and leave a message!

(First crotchet in bar 5 should be E, not D. I'm used to it it at a livelier pace than the midi plays it.)
