Steve,
  I thought about this later.He also wrote "Black is the color of my true 
love", and "I wander as I wonder" both extremely popular songs.He was mainly 
known for collecting folk songs and doing research on them.
The song "Go away from my Window" is often recorded .it is on the brand new 
Linda Ronstadt album which she recorded with Ann Savoy.
