Here is one for the left hand:

5-2-1-5-2-5-1-5-2-5-1-5-2-5-2-3

Here's another more creative but maybe too complicated:

5-2-1-3-1-4-1-5-2-5-1-4-1-3-2-3

Here's another possibility:

5-1-2-3-1-4-1-5-2-5-1-[4-1-3-2-3] or [5-2-5-2-3)

If you have a big hand and are dexterous, the simplest fingering is obviously:

5-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-2-1-3-2-3

I can't read the right hand part, sorry.

I'm cuirious- is this Down By the Riverside?

Here's an alternate idea for the LH, considering the held whole note:

5 (hold)-2-1-3-1-3-1-3-1-3-1-3-1-2-1-2

Might be a bit more fitting than Walter's 2-1-2-1 all the way through. It should be pretty easy, given the M.M.  :)
