>> Hi Dave and all. Which version of this piece did you get the lyrics from? I'm only asking because there are many different ones and I want to be sure we are all on the same page. The version I am leaning towards is the original from 1961. The singer is Richard Kyley. Not sure if I'm spellig his name right. Any thoughts? Thanks.
