Way back in the 70's in Kalamazoo there was a local
husband and wife team (schoolteachers) who sang a song
called "Basque County Romance". The first verse is:

"Mary Martin was a school girl, seventeen years old
Married Billy Archer about fourteen years ago.
Not even out of highschool - folks said it wouldn't last
But when you grow up in the country,
boy, you grow up mighty fast.
They were married in a hurry,
that spring 'fore school was out.
Folks said that she was pregnant
Just wait, and you'll find out.
It came about that winter, one grey November 'morn
The first of many more to come,
A Baby boy was born."

I re-discovered it in books left untouched through many
moves, and have been singing it, but I would like to know
who should be getting credit for authorship.

They also sang "Santa Fe River" and "Comin' Down Easy",
if any one has the lyrics to either could you please pass them on?
