This is the song that Sara sang over the radio when she was down in Mexico with her ex-husband Pleasant and sister-in-law Maybelle. Her marriage fell apart years earlier, when she fell in love with Coy Bayes, her husband's cousin. Coy left Virginia with his parents and ended up in California. They had no contact for years, until Sara dedicated this song over the radio (a powerful station that was heard all over the country) to Coy Bayes in California. When he heard it, he came and got Sara and they lived in California, pretty much separated from the Pleasant (A.P. Carter), her children, and the rest of the Carter family.
