In 1973, Robert Hunter registered the copyright in theses songs, except for Green Briar Song and Briney Deep. It Must Have Been The Roses was registered as "Rose". As part of this he also registered a song with the title "Lullaby" - it isn't clear what that is, though I wonder if it might be correct title of Briney Deep ("Hush little darling, don't you cry, you'll be winging by and by.") The rest of the songs on Tales Of The Great Rum Runners were registered separately in 1974.
