A song based on the poem "A Border Affair" written by Charles Badger Clark in 1907. The poem was set to music in 1925 by Billy Simon. Over the years, the song was recorded by many top recording artists, including Bob Dylan, Ian and Sylvia, Tom Paxton, Judy Collins, Marianne Faithfull, Emmylou Harris, Cisco Houston and The Chad Mitchell Trio. I learned it from the Cisco Houston recording.
