I have a friend in her eighties whose mother sang a song to her which dates back to the early 1900's. She remembers part of it as follows; One night a faithless husband unto a maiden said, now Bess you know I married and I hate the one I wed. For with her I'm unhappy and you're unhappy too. Let's break the cruel barrier that keeps my love from you.

The maiden turned away with a sigh, if you love me leave say goodbye and go. Although the parting grieves me, it is the better so.

I would appreciate learning the name and all the lyrics of this song, so I could give them to this fine lady.

Thanks, Len
