Hi,

Just realised these lyrics weren't in the database, at least that I could see. Talking to another Mudcatter brought them to mind. It was one of our very favourites which we kids used to beg dad to sing. A real old cowboy tearjerker.

It is included in the 1910, 1916, 1938, 1966, & 1986 copyrighted book by John A. and Alan Lomax, "Cowboy Songs & Frontier Ballads".

I haven't learned ABC, yet, but the tune is simple. I'll try to get it in this week.

Thanks, katlaughing
