Shavua Tov, I spoke in the late 80"ies to R'Carlebach personally and het told 
me he wrote the song inspired by the question of "Od Yosef chai" and "Od Avinu 
Chai" of the first book of the Pentateuch (Sefer Breshit)

  I have music for three different versions: one attributed to Carlebach in V. 
Pasternak's Israel In Song (Tara Publ.), the second is credited to "The 
Brothers Zimm" (P. Zimel and S. Zimel) - same book, and the third is in Sol 
Zim's The Joy of The Jewish Wedding (Sol's arrangement but he credits 
S.Rockoff) - also Tara Publ. There's also a nice round in my copy of The Jewish 
Center Songster - no composer, and its not associated with any particular 
holiday or tradition - no source/reference for the lyrics. I'm curious too.

    I thought there was a Carlebach conneciton to the song...
