Specifically, I'm trying to learn whether it predates the Carters, or is actually their composition. The only "recent" recording I can find is my own, on An Album of Songs (Bay, 1976), which is about to be reissued. I would appreciate any information anyone has. Thanks! --Jane Voss mail@janevoss.net |

I got this much from a sound sample: "I've rambled round from town to town Now it's time that I settle down I've had my fill of..." Meanwhile, I'll keep looking. |
