Who originated this song: "Northwest Passage" ?

[InTheNeighborhood]

I've always believed this was a Stan Rogers song from the beginning,
but I have learned of an Albion Band song, "Wolfe", with same melody
but different lyrics, as here:

Who appropriated the melody? Did the late Stan Roger's source this
from an older source, or did he compose it himself? Did Ashley
Hutchings get this from Rogers or an older source?

Hoping to be enlightened,

It's my understanding that Rogers *did* write it, but Ashley thought
that it was trad and recycled the tune...

It is a Stan Rogers piece of music.

And I miss him. He was taken from us too soon.
