The song's real name is "The Troubadour Song."

No relation to "Soldier and the Lady" / "One Morning in May" / "Nightingale," despite the citations at the top of the thread!

It is a composed popular song. It would be nice to know its origin. Can anyone confirm it's by Bob Davenport? If not, it may be by one of Ives' prolific New York art community friends, or even by Ives himself.

Very touching song! I, too, went through a period of adolescent angst when this song was my calling card to love. Ah! flaming youth! :-)
