I had the edition with "Keep on the Borderlands"; it's probably still in a closet in my mother's house somewhere.
It says something about me (what, I don't know) every time I see that title, from the day I first saw it until this one, I try to sing it to the tune of the Carter Family's Keep on the Sunny Side.
