The single is\r\nreleased to coincide with the Democratic Party's California primary, with\r\nproceeds going to help meet McGovern's expenses.

The owner told me it had been\r\nbanned (I don't know how true that is.)  It's kind of a rare find.  A couple\r\nof years after I found the single,  I found the sheet music in an old music\r\nstore.  The cover of the sheet music had an adorable looking baby with\r\npictures of gravestones superimposed on his forehead.
