Also at The Max Hunter Collection: Twenty-One Years (with audio). See The Traditional Ballad Index: Twenty-One Years [Laws E16] for info.

Amused by this laconic sentence in the Trad. Ballad Index: "The copyright and collection information on this song reveal something or other."

Is it my imagination or is there a song with the line "Twenty-one years with the wrong woman."

Guest O:
it's seven years with the wrong woman.

Guest Mary:. The "B" side of my one and only "hit", "Good Morning Captain" (1957) is entitled, "21 Years. It's a horrible recording. Actually a "Stupid LyriC" version of Worried Man Blues. It has so much echo on it, that the notes "bleed" onto the next one, making it sound sour.
I've got umpteen "Promotion Copies" of my CD, Spanning the Decades", which has it and Good Morning Captain on it. I'll send you one if you give me your adress.
