NOTES [57 words]: Averill-CampSongsFolkSongs lists this as a separate song based on "Rose, Rose," but in the version I found, it is simply another verse for "Rose, Rose," one of three added verses all cited by Averill: "America, America," "Love, Love," and "Peace, Peace," with "America, America" being the only one popular enough to get a separate listing. - RBW
