	Our Singing Country
	4  I stayed away six weeks , this gave her cause to complain. And she wrote me a letter saying, "Do come back again, Oh, do come back again!" 5   I wrote her an answer, it was just to let her know That young men often venture where they ought not to go. Where they ought not to go. 6  Come, all ye young men, take warning by me: Never place your affections on a green growing tree, On a green growing tree. 7  The leaves they will wilt, and the roots they will decay, And the beauty of a fair young maid will soon fade away, Oh, will soon fade away.
	MY OLD TRUE LOVE /'#. No. 1341. Mrs. Gladys Helen Davis and Mrs. Flossie Ellen Evans, Galax, Va., 1937. See Sh, 2:113 if. j Cox, p. 413. "Sometimes people do kill themselves for love, of course. I remember one time Big John told the girl he was engaged to that he was a-goin* over to---------to get whisky. Now she knew he had a child by another woman over there, and she thought that he was a-goiny to see her. So before he started out, she sat down in his lap and grabbed his pistol and throwed it in her breast. When it shot, she jumped so her head nearly touched the ceiling. Big John never got over it."                              —Aunt Molly Jackson.
