Absolutely amazing track, I bought it as a single, only to be surprised it was the b side. It was played quite a lot on BBC Radio Birmingham's Ross & Henry show on Saturday mornings. Anyone else remember Ross & Henry??, a great 90 minutes listening!!!
This works perfectly as duet certaintly with Lee's deep dark tones intoning his part like a storyteller totally removed from the tale.Dolly's version is equally perfect of couse. By the way Marianne Faithfull also does a brilliant version of this supberb warning song.
My mother had a very emotional response to this song when she heard it on the radio back when it was released. What I didn't know for many years was that it was her story, except that I was a boy and didn't die at birth.
In Dolly Parton's original version, Dolly sang the whole song, including the male part. I like Nancy & Lee's version better because this song was meant to be sung by TWO people. Listen to the lyrics and I'm sure you'll agree.
i dont agree that it was ment for two people, but it is possible to change it(like nancy and lee did) so that it will fit for a duett. but in dollys original version it is astory told by a young girl.
Probably the best song of 71 !!!..love it :-)

Did they sing this before Dolly, or did she do it first? Anyone know who wrote it?

Dolly wrote the song in the 60's but radio refused to play it due to the subject matter and she just put it on her album so yes dolly was the first.

Marianne Faithfull recorded an excellent new rendition of this--passionate and rocking with a brass section!

I also prefer Dolly's version over this one, although this is not bad.

Great version of a fantastic Dolly song, though nowhere near as good as Dolly's own version.
