Before you brought it up, I guess I had thought it just came up through my own family in Detroit. I guess it must have an origin somewhere, and probably not from the Offer Family of Detroit. Do you think somebody could get a PhD out of researching that one? I think it's kind of like those camp songs that you thought came from your very own talented counselors at your very own wonderful camp: Hoo-Rah, Camp Catspaw!And then you realize that Camp Snakespit had the very same song. -Joe Offer- |

There's a sound clip of the Frankie Laine recording here (click). It says the songwriter is Gilkyson - I imagine that's Terry Gilkyson. -Joe Offer- I found a snippet of the lyrics: Tell Me a Story - Jimmy Boyd |
