Love this song - have the old vinyl with it on it, and will keep it forever.

Mary Hopkin recorded a Welsh language version of this in 1967-68 titled Tyrd yn ol, wrongly translated as "Can't Help Falling In Love" !I can see that Judy's version here (1965) inspired Mary's, two to three years later. Beautiful song. Who was this Billy Edd Wheeler?

came to get this for comment on the winds blowing out of West Virginia - all I can think is that this is the whirlwind we reap from having long ago abandoned the land and people of appalachia to the savage despotism of coal, timber, and oil companies.

I sang this to my kids at bedtime. This is so sad, today the miners remove whole mountain tops to get at the coal.

Was written and originally sung by Billy Edd Wheeler, afraid I can't throw any more light on it.Judy recorded it in 1965

Just curious... does anyone know if this same tune without the words was sung by anyone else. Or with different words than this? I don't remember these words at all... just the tune.

I've been humming this on and off every now and then for like 40 years, never knew where it came from... the tune in my head had no words. Now I know where it came from. Must have heard it as a teen.. love it. Voice of an angel.

I grew up in the bottomland hardwoods of east Alabama. Nature was always my Muse and I thought this natural beauty would last forever. Now I fear to think of what the ufture will bring. I loved to lie on a bed of leaves and look up through the teees and be rocked by thier gentle swaying in the breeze. Those woods are still there and I will fight to see that they are never paved over for a Walmart!

Bambie Graham and I used to do this song at Jackson Lake Lodge in Grand Teton National Park, it's written as more of an aria so it is a serious work to sing. In my mountain home of Jackson Hole you can imagine the words are meaningful, this song is a rare beauty and then there is Judy's gentle, honest, lovely voice. I would love this song to kept available so more artists & fans might come to know it, even though that would give profit to those who are trying to get you to take it down.

I was born in 1978, and I grew up listening to Judy Collins. As I grew, I came to understand many social issues through her songs. And I've influenced more than a few folks to check out her music. Thanks for posting some of the less-available material! I have this on LP, but how many else do?!

Beautiful singing from a beautiful person

As an Aussie I will not be able to hear that interview. I admire a lot of Billy's work.and Judy's voice has always held me spellbound and when you put the two together ... I try to post a lot of tunes I believe are undervalued and unique on YT so if you see something you've never heard of have a listen because, if you like this post, I'm sure you'd enjoy some of the rest.
