My mother taught me this song in China in the 1960s, a song that she learned in China in the 1930s. This beautiful song always reminds me of my dear mother. I would listen to it when I miss my dear mother.
I love her version of this song and came back to it today after hearing Hank Williams "Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain". As beautiful & with the same longing
My grandfather's personal history records that his mother used to sing him this song when he was a child (in the late 19th Century) -- Thanks for allowing me to hear what he must have heard as a child . . .
Jonatha Brooke does a version of this song on Angel in the House. Totally dark harmonies. Almost as if A Perfect Circle and Alice in Chains did it. It's the best I've ever heard.
Wow, I found this song through an article while researching my ancestory. The song is about my 2nd great grand uncle Dr. Miles Walton Goldsby, Jr. However, they never maried because her family moved away from Marion while Miles had gone North to war. He was a physican in the Confederate States and died in 1865. The article was written by Vernon Louviere entitled "Her of "In the Gloaming".
