I am trying this from a different direction. Everyone has been very helpful in finding the words and music for which I am grateful.

What I am hoping for is an Ernie collector or enthusiast who can help me with the record or a download.

On June 21,1949, Ernie recorded on Capitol, Master#4602"You'll find her name written there". I have tried for days to find a copy or tape of it but have not succeded. Mudcatters have never failed me and I know they won't now.

FYI, this is not a selfish motive. An old friend would like to hear Ernie's version and I would like to give it to him .. Thanks, Jeepman

You'll find everything you're looking for here. You may even be able to get a copy of the record through this website. Good luck!

Hey Justa. I thank you for the help but I have tried that site several times. I even emailed 4 times and they don't even answer.

Maybe someone has a collection. Jeepman

Is this the one ye seek? Recorded by the Grateful Dead.

Lyrics: Harold Hensley Music: Harold Hensley

Played by Jerry with Old And In The Way. Not listed in DeadBase (even under a mistaken title so far as I can see).

No more, no more, she'll walk this earth Her face like a beautiful [cloud] But all alone, there's a marble stone You'll find her name written there

Her [little?] voice rings where the angel sings Her voice so pure and so fair But if you look to the heaven above You'll find her name written there

I'm all alone since the call of fate Left me in the deepest despair And if you wait at the pearly gates You'll find her name written there

I breathe her name into the air It goes and I know not where But if you look to the heart of a friend You'll find her name written there You'll find her name written there

Put the title in quotes and run a search on Google. Tons of hits and lots of recordings listed, all the way from Bill Monroe to the Dead.

I'll give you a link....just click, but its at www.google.com.

BTW, in the mid fifties his show was sponsored by FORD and at one point you could get a pencil from your local Ford dealer witha clear plastic tube between the pencil and eraser filled with dried peas ("Pea-Pickin' Good")......I had several as a kid and I'd love to know what one of those suckers would be worth now.

Well good O then! I only have one of his albums, and it is all hymns--unless my brother took it a couple years ago. Didn't even go look, because I knew it was all religious.

If anyone knows where one can get a CD of Tennesee Ernie Ford Sings the Songs of the Civil War do let me know. It was released as a CD by Capitol Records in the early '90s. I sure would like to find another copy.

Track list for

Tennessee Ernie Ford
Sings Songs of the Civil War

The army of the free
Virginia´s bloody soil
Marching song (Of the first Arkansas negro regiment)
The why and the wherefore
The vacant chair
The fall of Charleston
The New York volunteer
The faded coat of blue
Marching through Georgia
Just before the battle, mother
The girl I left behind me
Union Dixie
Stonewall Jackson´s way
Lorena
Riding a raid
Maryland, my Maryland
Goober peas
I can whip the scoundrel
The Bonnie Blue Flag
The valiant conscript
The rebel soldier
The southern wagon
Flight of doodles
Dixie

Do not have CD-but do have the double LP

Hmm, well now there's a thought. I do have a good recording of it. And I know a friend that's gotten right handy about burning in his own CD's. Seeing as I've looked for a CD of it for two years I guess I can conclude that it is not around and there's nothing wrong with making my own. Thanky Gene,

Rex

That looks pretty interesting. Does anyone know if the Civil War album is still around? yours, Peter T.
