I now know the history of a song that has haunted my dreams for so very long. As a child my aunt would sing this some to me no matter how many times I begged her not to. It is now something that plays in my head quite often, and less effected by it I am everyday. Until reading the full history and having the memories brought up again to mind. This is a very depressing and amazing story. It's a song that will never be forgotten, and one that will be sung to other children in many home from now until the end of time.
