About This Item
New York: Spencer Music Corp, 1950. Sheet_music. Single folio leaf printed and folded to make a standard sheet-music item, cover photo-portrait of the Weavers ensemble with an inset of Gordon Jenkins. Find an inconspicuous rubberstamp of Salt Lake City distributor, a small corner-crease, a dot of ink (printer's error) and faint toning. No marks, a good clean copy. Five stanzas are printed of this pretty song which point up how sentimental and unsentimental both; rather confusingly one stanza addresses an errant husband, others an errant wife, another suggests no marriage took place. Lies were told, and morphine figures in as a suicide method. First copyrighted in 1936. Ledbetter's guitar got him out of a very nasty prison.
