The only things for sure that are public domain right now are works created before 1895 or works whose authors died before 1945.

One of the writers of You Are My Sunshine was alive until the year 2000 so I think it's a pretty safe bet that it will remain under copyright for another 55 years.

I know you can do a music search on ASCAP's website to see what's copyrighted and what's not. Maybe try to search on the SCL (Society of Composer & Lyricists) or shoot them an email. I'm sure they'd be happy to help.
