Guest,

Do you know who composed this song?

Please excuse the questions as I am sure you were hoping to find answers instead, But I am curious as to the origin of this song.

My mother is a Powers, and my Grandfather Charles W. Powers formerly of Wise, Kentucky is supposedly a direct relation to Gary Powers.

My mother would dearly love to get the words to this one. Once a year there is a family re-union in Wise, but she has never made it down there to discuss this or Gary Powers.

By the way, you wouldn't happen to be a Powers would you?

Just Curious, And since this is the internet I wouldn't expect you to answer unless you desired to.

I would like to add this song to my collection of ballads. I collect ballads and folk music and play flatpick guitar and 5 string banjo.
