Che?

P. S. Quite a co-inkydink. I was just practicing that song this morning, then opened up Mudcat and found this going on.

If anyone can exhume a copy of Dick and Beth Best's The New Song Fest from back in the Fifties, it's in there, words and music, no background notes, along with a whole bunch of other good stuff.

Interesting song.

Seduction through evoking pity.

Anybody know if it works?

Just sang this.

I have it on Burl Ives, "The Wayfaring Stranger," Columbia - LP, 195-something (undated)

But I learned it from Ed McCurdy whom I taped at a gig at The Second Fret, Philadelphia, 1960. I played the tape on my folk music show on WXPN.

I still don't know anything about it, though.

Recorded in Album 2, "Return of the Wayfaring Stranger," as "Troubadour Song" (note spelling), Columbia CL 6058; also available as a single (with?).
