Be still oh beating heart - I finally found a recrding of this song after 40 years, all due to Mudcat. It's at The Record Lady's site in Volume 23 of her hits, sung by Vernon Dalhart.

I haven't had a chance to transcribe the lyrics but they're just as I remember them (as would Kansas Annie's mum). I don't know anything about Dalhart, but it is possible that this is a sequel to the original "...I've got some more to tell you about the great American Bum ..."
