Carrie Jacobs-Bond
Key: E♭/CmTime: 6/83 Songs as Unpretentious as the Wild Rose
From Three Songs as Unpretentious as the Wild Rose (1904). Jacobs-Bond wrote both words and music — she was one of the first singer-songwriters in American popular music, and the first woman to sell one million copies of sheet music ("I Love You Truly," from a companion collection, Seven Songs as Unpretentious as the Wild Rose).
