She left out some of the written lyrics, but it was always one of my favorites! I didn't realize until today (an adult in my 50's)that it was actually a folk song... thought she made it up just for me!! Yes, I'm a Southerner and the song didn't adversely affect me at all!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6006953.post-19484917588103590022011-02-22T01:15:31.626-06:002011-02-22T01:15:31.626-06:00I love that song.

He also sang "The Fate of Floyd Collins" another morbid, true song. Also the "Wreck on Old 97". They didn't seem to harm me.. Although I sang the last two to my childre, I didn't sing the Mary Phagan song.
