Take her out of pity

Ah, yes, young man, this is without question the Kingston Trio. John Stewart's voice is not easy to mistake! :)

There can never be too many Kingston Trio tracks posted! This has long been one of my favourites.

[mrjaysnipes]

Yes, this is the Kingston Trio, with John Stewart singing lead. Sad, beautiful song.

I thought this was the Kingston Trio, but I haven't found any info on it recently.

I have so many memories of my Grandfather's old Kingston Trio records, the Mamas and the Papas, and many others from that era. Been feeling nostalgic.

Is this the Kingston Trio?

There is a kinder version of this song sung by a woman. Does anyone out there know who that woman was? I thought it was called "The Spinsters Song."

Thank you SOOO much for posting!

[Crintingnut]

Are you able to point me to where I could find the lyrics, please?

[kenziedog101]

[elaisa1961]

My mother used to sing this to me and my brothers and sister when we were children, and to all her grandchildren. She is gone now, but the song stays with us. I can still hear her voice singing, and I miss her more. Thank you so much for posting this.

Hello! Hope you find something in this song to deal with your children!

Song is great!

Take care! From Sweden.!

Delightful. Have had this song in my head for almost fifty years after hearing it sung by a guy with a guitar on a beach. Loved it ever since. Suspect Gerkinstock is being somewhat ironic, but ... is this fuel for a greater debate. Thanks for posting.

A great feminist anthem from nearly 50 years ago!

:D

Wow~this is the first song my dad, uncles, and I learned to play on guitar. It's great to finally hear where it comes from.

Thank you!!

[wdunderwood]

Great song. I was just listening to it on my computer too.

[dwetick]

I remember every word from this ballad first heard in 1960. Thanks for posting...
