I'm looking for a year of publication and composer/lyricist credits for a song called "Maybe," recorded in the mid-Thirties (?) by the Mills Brothers. [Not to be confused with the 1926 tune of the same title by Irving Berlin].
At this point I only have a lead sheet from a 50-year old fake book; the lyrics begin with "Maybe, someday, you'll think of me, when you are all alone."
Any info about the tune, or information about covers of the tune by other bands/singers, would be much appreciated. I've already searched Wikipedia, eBay, YouTube and several university sheet music collections without any luck. Thanks! SETH

Re: Info about the song "Maybe"
After I posted this request, I gave Wikipedia one more shot, and finally did find info that the song was recorded in 1940 by the Ink Spots, then revived in 1952 by Perry Como. I also tried some more university sheet music collections, and found info on the Indiana State University website that the tune was copyrighted in 1935 by Robbins Music, and the composers were Allan Flynn and Frank Madden.
So thanks anyway, I finally did find the info I needed, I just needed to dig a little deeper. And now we only have to wait 10 more years (!) for the song to fall into the public domain (assuming that U.S. copyright laws don't change once again during that time). SETH
