It was actually written by Richard Le Gallienne in 1917 if I'm correct. I think its great that this song has been sort of passed down and reinvented so many times in true folk spirit!

I love the way Okkervil River pays homage.

Thanks to Carl Sandburg then.

I see this song as an argument against suicide; why join when you can do? Fuck suicide, there's so much to do and yet oppose against.

[arteryman]

there is no better argument for suicide. god bless!
