Heard R. Skaggs version of this song and was very impressed. Does anyone come close to this, and if so, who ?
One more thing, I cant seem to find the chords on this, would someone enlighten me ?

Listen to the original version sometime.
This is one of Bill's 'true' songs, written about the death of a girl who had been romantically linked with one of Bill's brothers.
Recorded January 20th, 1951. Bill Monroe and Jimmy Martin.

I like the version done by the Bluegrass Album Band...tear your heart out.

Tom Rozum does it pretty nice on Jubilee.
