We had this album at home when I was a kid. I recall lying on the floor in front of our stereo which was a HUGE wooden cabinet that held a radio and a turntable. I sang along while Dad napped on the chesterfield after supper. Good times. Great memories. Thanks!

I love all these old Burl Ives songs. Takes me back to my childhood. Thanks so much for posting these!!

I was 10 years old when this one was done. I like it. don't know why but it's good to remember your childhood. Things were more more carefree back in the day.

Wow, that takes me back. When I was five years old in 1964 I couldn't get enough of this song, and I still love it to this day. I have always loved Burl Ives.

Thank you for posting it.

@usmcbrat2 That's funny. I felt the same way about the song, except that it was by Tex Ritter on a 78 RPM and I was 7 and it was in 1949. My favorite Burl Ives song about that time was the theme song he did for a movie with Wanda Hendrix and Audie Murphy called "Sierra." It also had James Arness and Tony Curtis is supporting roles.

My Granddchildren will love this when I learn it==the guitar playing is great and I have never heard it done better by anyone else. Bring my childhood flooding back--GREAT-GREAT-GREAT==Thank you.

Thanks for posting some "clean-sounding" versions. I own the original Columbia red "6-eye" label LP "Burl Ives Sings Songs for All Ages" (1957). This was one of the first LPs my parents bought for us as kids. We listened to it for hours on a Motorola hi-fi console record player. It's a bit worn and scratched now. I especially liked the "Old Witch" song at the end of side one.
