Margarita (Harvey Andrews)

This is a song written by Harvey Andrews set in the time of World War 1, going off to fight in the Somme, not knowing that most people who went out there never came back. The image of a blanched photograph still telling it's story in the mind of Margarita just breaks me up for some reason. I haven't played this song for a long time.. it's a great song.
