I STILL HAVE THAT ALBUM!

It's one of my favorite memories from childhood, and this is one of my favorite songs from that album.

When I was little, my dad sang this to me every night when he tucked me into bed. Thank you.

This is such a haunting, dear song. Stems from the 1600's, I believe, but has gone through many incarnations. Burl Ives sings it so beautifully.

There is no "e" on Burl's name. :)

I remember hearing this version on "Walt Disney's greatest hits" vinyl album from the early 70's when I was about 4 years old. I'm 41 now.

@mstatz OMG I'm 42 now and I had and *loved* that same album, with all of the disney characters having fun on a merry-go-round. I miss LP art, and the 70's :)
