Hi, guys. I'm happy if I was the subject of a mystery, and apologize if it drove anyone crazy. I wrote this song (every note, every word) around 1970 for friends, Bud and Travis, popular folk artists, who recorded it, as did Glen Yarbrough, New Christy Minstrels, Harry Belafonte, Barry McGuire and several others. I think it was Barry who told me that there was an old mountain tradition in the folk world where people felt free to change songs as they pleased and that this had started happening to my song. I never minded and don't now. Kind of a compliment. As for my name, it was Vicki Arnold but Randy Sparks was right, Vicki got into some trouble. I legally changed it to Morgan Ames, got sober by the way, and have written as Morgan ever since. This was the first song I wrote that was recorded and it was a thrill.
