   > This song is a lot older than the Christie Minstrel's version. It was   
   recorded in the 1950's by a folksinger who's name I can't remember. Have been   
   looking for it for years. And it's not a song about a teen car crash. It's a   
   mountain song--- I'll see    
   if I can remember all the lyrics;

   >    
   > On the floor, the empty rifle    
   > And the shawl she used to wear    
   > But they never found Miss Julie    
   > They never found, that hungry bear

   > Ch:    
   > Oh you can see her in the moonlight her in the moonlight

   I remember the second verse as:   
   Julie's beau was strong and handsome   
   Just a poor boy with treasures few   
   But he promised rings of silver   
   Just to prove his love was true.
