You Were On My Mind

This was written by Sylvia Tyson of the Canadian folk duo Ian & Sylvia. They recorded it for their 1964 album Northern Journey.

We Five was an American folk-rock quintet. When they recorded this, Sylvia Tyson rewrote some of the lyrics, taking out references to getting drunk. This was done to help get airplay for the song.

In 1966, British singer Crispian St. Peters hit #2 UK with his version.
