Scotch And Soda Question

I've heard the story about how the Trio discovered this song at the hands of the parents of Tom Seaver and his sister. I guess it's safe to bet they'll never find out who wrote the song, since the parents heard it in some cabaret when they were newlyweds, and they asked the performer to write it down for them. The one thing I've always wondered about (and would ask Bob Shane about if I ever spoke with him again): When the Seavers presented the song, was it just the lyrics and a vague memory of the melody, or was the chord pattern given to them, as well? I was just wondering if the Trio composed the music, or was that given to them, at the time, as well?
