It features Doc on vocal with Gaither Carlton on fiddle, and was recorded on the 12th of October 1962. The song was composed by the Reverend B. Hicks, a Baptist minister of South Carolina, and was sent to his wife while he was confined in Tennessee by a fever. The song appeared in William Walker's 19th Century hymnbook "The Southern Harmony".Doc learned this song from the singing of his family. RIP Doc Watson.
