	DO COME BACK AGAIN e. No. 1362. Mrs. W. P. Davis, Galax, Va., 1937. See Sh, 2:96 if. "This is a mighty sorrowful soundin* song" said Mrs. Alice Williams of Ashland} Kentucky > "but I like it. It's the one that Canas used to sing when he came over the mountain a-courtin} me. He made it sound as mourn­ful as he could sd*s to make me pity him" "Did you pity him?" aWelly I reckon so; I been married to him thirty year"
	1   Once I knew a little girl, and I loved her as my life; Freely would I have given her my hand and my heart To have made her my wife. 2  I took her by the hand and I led her to the door, I embraced her in my arms and I asked her once more, Oh, I asked her once more. 3   She looked up in my face with scorn and disdain, And the answer that she gave me was, "You can't come back again, No, you can't come back again."
