NOTES [49 words]: E. M. Bartlett was apparently a fairly well-known Arkansas songwriter, producing mostly religious songs, but few have endured. He may have been more important for encouraging the career of Albert E. Brumley, who obviously picked out this song to include in Brumley-LamplitinTimeInTheValley. - RBW
