## Context

No website source text or ChordPro found; placeholder only.

## Rights Assessment

The package uses the current U.S. public-domain rule of thumb that U.S. works published before 1931 are public domain in 2026, while modern works and later arrangements need separate clearance. For traditional material, the underlying tune/text may be public domain while The Scrips arrangement and any modern variant source remain separate rights questions.
