GUEST,old head | Lyr Req: Gold in the Mountains / Only the Hangman (42) | RE: Gold in the Mountains --not Presley | 13 Dec 03 |
Copyrighted 1960 under the title ONLY THE HEARTACHES by Wayne P Walker. Additional words by Jess Edwins and Terry Kennedy. The original was called THE UNFORTUNATE RAKE, a bawdy ballad I believe from or about Dublin and a soldier who dies from a social disease. Very old. ST. JAMES INFIRMARY BLUES/STREETS OF LAREDO/ONLY THE HANGMAN, etc., are all based on it. I have a copy of the above sheet music for piano & guitar if anyone is interested. Bye. |
