My aunt Bessie (Elizabeth) would always request that I play/sing this one from the Everly's album "Songs Our Daddy Taught Us" then she'd sob like a baby. My Dad called it a "two hanky" song. My Mom would sob in unison.

Some other of Bessie's favorites were: 1. The Baggage Coach Ahead. 2. Hobo Bill's Last Ride. 3. Put My Little Shoes Away. 4. Shackles And Chains. 5. The Prisoner Song. 6. The Wreck Of Old 97. 7. The Wreck Of #9. etc. All of which moved my audience to tears.

At least I hope it was the emotion of the songs and not my singing.

Another tearjerker, tear-duct flusher I'd sing/play was Rocking Alone In An Old Rocking Chair
