I just caught a bit of a very old film called The Ladykillers from 1955 on SkyGreats & the old ladies start singing this song.

And as I heard it I remembered it from decades ago & the song came flooding back ❤

Pretty, sentimental song and Slim does it nicely.

We don't encounter many songs written as far back as 1873.
But that's when Eben E. Rexford and Hart Pease Danks wrote this gem, first recorded in 1903.
This version was recorded in 1964.

God rest my darling parents. Dad would yodel this song to Mam.

One of Billy the kid's favorite songs. Yes, it's documented.
