NOTES [51 words]: High-OldOldFolkSongs's version of this is said to have been "typewritten by Miss Peggy Ann High," and includes her address on Route 1, Berryville, Ark. Fred High also lived on Route 1 in Berryville. It seems likely that Peggy Ann was Fred's granddaughter, and very likely wrote this as a school piece. - RBW
