This is a song we did during the early stages of the lockdown. Couldn't find details about when the song was composed so, here's the old favourite. Personally, I just LOVE Judith Durham & the Seekers cover of this.
Here's the teccy bits

Graham, I enjoyed the fun you are having and those jolly runs between the phrases... and have to admit, as a (relapsed) soccer fan, I can`t help hearing the crowd belting out "like a team that`s gonna win the FA Cup" whenever this song plays. You guys are my team now!
Nice take on a classic spiritual given world wide attention by the folk movement. Like those walkups and fills. Kay's vocals, typically, right on target. Country swing is the way to go on that. ........................... BTW, Furry and Kay, I added this song to an order I just put in to pdinfo for reprints of the original sheet music. The version pdinfo carries is titled "A Tree Beside the Water." According to Wiki, "The song is most commonly attributed as being lyrically descended from "I'll Overcome Some Day", a hymn by Charles Albert Tindley that was first published in 1900." We know Mr. Tindley as the author of "(We Will Understand it Better) By and By." The song became a standard in labor union rallies and strikes in the 1940's before achieving status as a civil rights anthem, starting in 1959. Thought to be originally a Scot's song, it appeared in print in 1867 in an Atlantic Monthly collection. Fascinating history. I'll be interested in seeing what the pdinfo source is.
What a pleasure watching the two of you together—very entertaining cover! As I think I've mentioned previously, my Dad's an accordion player as well, so I have a special appreciation for the instrument. Good stuff! Thanks for sharing this with us!
