I am guessing you mean Raymond Francois' book "Ye Yaille Chere", though I think Raymond Lafleur has a better ring to it, lol.

Where did you hear a version by Dewey? I dont think I ever heard that one, its hard not to like anything Dewey sings.

i think the reference with dewey is orphan's waltz?

That's right -the Valse d'Orphelin by Dewey Balfa
It's the same tune but different words - the emotion is beautiful
The strange thing is the words almost sound overly sentimental
but the voice carries it off and makes it all believable.
Sorry about the misnomer on the Raymond E. François book.
