900 miles

One of the more popular folk songs of the 1960's was performed by a variety of folk artists, including Joan Baez, Pete Seegar, and Odetta.

The song was written by Holly West, although there is some discussion about it as there are similar songs that have been written, dating back decades.  It has words and a rhythm that make it easy to remember and difficult to forget, as is the case of many folk songs that endure.

900 miles is a classic folk song that is part of the history of music in the United States but represents the style of music that continues to delight people now and likely people in the future.
