Proof of Public Domain is where you have to site the source of the music, movie, book, etc.
The song was on the album “Seven Dreams” originally by Gordon Jenkins. Fifteen years after Johnny Cash wrote “Sweet Dreams: The Conductor” , the two songs were compared and some of the lyrics were word for words or only a couple of words were changed. Although, Johnny Cash’s song was a more talented piece, it was still copyright. In 1968 the out of court settlement was about one-hundred-thousand dollars.
