I appreciate all your efforts on this over the years, which I stumbled upon today in searches. I too heard this song on annual vacations as a child in the 80s. What led me searching today was hearing Steven Moore's rendition of "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again," (2022) and some of the notes were immediately recognizable. The songs aren't note-for-note the same, but the similarities make me wonder if there's something there to the origin.
Back before youtube in the early days of dial up internet I did some heavy research including contacting SDC abut the song. Who wrote it, what were all the lyrics, who recorded it? And there wasn't any information out there at all and no one had any answers. All I had was a cassette tape recording of it. I guess I decided to take matters into my own hands to preserve the song just in case it might be lost forever. Now, with todays technology and many other people posting videos and sound clips we won't have to worry about losing the Flooded Mine song. Sorry my reply went on a bit long. Thanks for your reply!
