This was an odd song that I really liked on the Sha Na Na album–not a doo wop song at all like their others, but a sweet clever folk-ish song. I don’t think it had any radio play, and I doubt it would fit in to any of their concerts, so I was really glad to find it on YouTube. Give it a try, I think you might like it.

My all time favorite ShaNaNa track
At last, someone else who knows this song!
It was poignant when it was released, at the time of the draft for the Vietnam war. I’ve always loved the song.
Hi Tom, that was a great insight! Of course, there were boys headed out to Canada at the time to escape the draft for an immoral war, who could not return home, left longing for something familiar.
