Originally wrote this song while hiking the PCT back in the early '70 where I adapted it for mandolin and shared it with other hikers. I heard it sung by a lady named Jenny to whom I loaned my mandolin for her Washington leg of the PCT

Story behind the song
That feeling you need to be gone.
Lyrics
I'm like a bird, singing in the snow. Singing all I know, singing as I go. Singing as I go. I wanna be gone like the flowers from December, like a name you can't remember, if I'm to be traveling again. One solution I still can recall. I learned it when quite small. Jump over the wall. Jump over the wall. I wanna be gone like the flowers from December, like a name you can't remember, if I'm to be traveling again.
