If memory serves as it should, this is on Folk-Legacy's recording of my old mentor and friend, Adirondack singer Lawrence Older.

I've heard others sing it. Bill, I'm sure some of your older-generation country music buddies would know it. Seems to me that either Smokey Green or Dick Richards knew it over here (I'm in Saratoga County,NY), maybe both.

What I've never heard is an author attribution. Maybe if you post it, someone who knows more will rise to the bait. I'd live to know. -George Ward (no relation to the DA )
