This is the first song my wife ever heard me sing. I had learned it from Paul Siebel's WOODSMOKE & ORANGES Lp.
I was a single parent living with two three year old boys 46 years ago and was carpooling with Maggie and a couple of other folks. They came to pick me up and, since I never locked my doors, she walked in and heard me playing and singing in the next room.
I like to say that I won her heart with a song about a dead hooker.
