Hi folks,

Probably, none of you will come back to this thread, but if you do, please know that I am like the lady who was so grateful to find the lyrics.

I first heard this song sung long ago, by a famous comedian, Red Skelton. He had a fine, very soft voice, when not in character and, I think, it was put on a 45 rpm record, but never became very popular.

Like most of you, I have never forgotten that song and remembered some, but not all of the lyrics.

I ended up marrying a redhead (Irish backgound with green eyes!)and it didn't work out. However, I have never forgotten that song, because Red Skelton sang it, so poignantly, in that soft voice of his.

Though a comedian, he was a gentleman of the first order, never using obliquy in his acts.

Again, thank you all,

Good Luck and Steady Winds,

A little boy still
