This was the first American song I learned by heart. I used to swing on the wooden swing my father installed in the door opening of the peat shed, I think I was five years old, just sounded out the words. Thank you, American Forces Network for playing all these songs. We were in the Britsh Occupied Zone, but close to Bremerhafen where American troups landed.

I remember the Gene Autry version best, my mom played a lot of his records when I was very young.
@Ray13 I suspect that that was the version I mostly heard in England.

@Marionville Thank you. I always feel guilty when these glitches happen.
@Spinliesel No need…it’s outwith your control….
@Marionville Above are 3 versions
@rogerbenham Fine…there a great number of them..but it was the Hoyt Axton one Antje posted because that was the one she heard as a child in Germany!
