CK-10 Take Back Your Gold
By Monroe Rosenfeld, who's been described as a melodic kleptomaniac--sure enough, this song seems to be at least partly lifted from a hymn called "I Would Be True"
He also has another claim to fame--"generally credited with having invented the term "Tin Pan Alley"--per Fireside Book of Favorite American Songs.
The phrase in the book is "The love that you'd deny me"--but I imagine it's the one.
