Guest rjbickers I have the words to The Sheepherders Lament written by Curley Fletcher either in 1915 or 1916 and it is possible that this is the song you are looking for.Email me at roy1@wanweb.net withsome of the words you remember and if it is indeed the song you are looking for I will post it.I am a slow and poor typist so I don't post something nobody wants.Hope to hear from you Louie Roy
