A song written by Vernon Oxford. I got to know him quite well when he was over in the UK in the 1970s and played with him several times. A decent, honest, funny but vulnerable man who deserved more recognition in the country music field.

    My Dad used to sing this at family gatherings … slightly different wording in places, but so lovely to hear it again as it brings back such good memories of him. Another song I remember from my childhood was “A mother was washing her baby”. Anyone else remember that one?

    Nice version but the original is 'When The Arkansas River Leaves Oklahoma' by Don Williams. George Jackson

    • @spikewoods9565
      @spikewoods9565 Рік тому

      I never heard this by Don Williams before singing it. My tune is remarkably similar! It was written by Wayland D Holyfield. I don't know who rewrote it for the Severn idea. I tweaked a few sentences, but that's all.

      As I say, I collected this from Sam Gorman, one of Pauline's uncles, sitting in a trailer in Uttoxeter. He sang lots of other songs in the unique traveller's way. I feel very privileged to have known him, his family and all of Pauline's other relations.xx
