NOTES [72 words]: Averill-CampSongsFolkSongs on p. 195 calls this "Give Me a Rose," but I'm assuming she means this song, since it's the only camp song I can find that sounds remotely like this, and Averill's second invocation calls it "Bring Me a Rose." According to Frank Hamilton on mudcat.org, "Ernie Sheldon" was a pseudonym for Ernie Lieberman, once of People's Songs, who replaced Glenn Yarborough in The Limeliters when Yarborough went solo. - RBW
