Hello Westernstar, The web page that recounts that version doesn't mention which song he sang. For me I think that that story has a probability of about 50% of being true. However I believe the version similar to the one given by you is more likely to be true.
I take this opportunity to request the Cambodian government to officially declare Sin Si Samouth as a national treasure, and to construct some kind of commemorative statue or monument to honor him.
