I prefer Maybelle as an entertainer/artist, but Sara kicks some real country *ss when it comes to singing. Plus, Maybelle's voice never sound as sweet as when she does harmony together with Sara.
Thanks for uploading!

@rshdrumlinefreak Let me clarify this. Before this time, and even during it, music copyrighting was not popular. AP Carter didn't copy peoples music to steal it, he just did it to start up a type of business for himself. Many people in the country music scene used each others music. Elvis used lots of other peoples songs and made them his own. It wasn't viewed as being negative or stealing back then.

Its ironic you say that about copyrighting. AP Carter copyrighted everything he could get his hands on, whether he wrote it or not. He knew he could make so major bucks that way.

Who else thinks this song is about WWI? "I know he's away, in a far distant land, a land that is over the sea" "Tell him to come back to me" "Is he thinking of me and the promise he made long ago" "He said he'd return from over the sea, oh why do the years go so slow?"
Maybe a song about a soldier who left his wife behind to go to WWI and either died, missing in action, or married a foreigner .
Just some thoughts, this song DID come out in the late 20's I believe. February 1929 apparently.
