What a wonderfully talented man Burl Ives was!  My parents introduced me to his music.  Love his ballads!

Karen Strock

I thought I'd heard all of Burl's songs ,but this one is new to me . Wow ,how beautiful but sad. He was truly a God given talent.

Blue Feathered Cub

I'm 23 now and I remember these Burl Ives songs when I was very young living in Nevada, and my dad would play them for me and my sister, especially when we'd be on long car trips going around to take care of errands and stuff.  To this day, still one of the saddest songs I've ever heard in my life, and it still gives me the chills, thinking that back then I didn't understand the song, but now I do, in its entirety.  Now it makes me wanna tear up. :'(

John J. Flanagan - Songs of Faith.

Very moving song. Burl Ives did it quite well, as usual.

catbird7007

The Blue Grass Gentlemen did an awesome job with this song. Very haunting tale.

Connie Roberts
