dick.hamlet ADD: Washington Square (from Pete Seeger) (42) RE: Lyr Req: Washington Square (from Pete Seeger) 26 Oct 11


I have the Columbia reissue of "Story Songs," which I think is just
a different label/albumcover. The 13 are the people, not the tracks,
i.e., "Aimee McPherson" is also about Radio Ray (Armastad sp?). I
used to think the last lines ended with "oh Morris the bold", but
the tune traced to the Irish Abu/ makes it sound more like
"oh Morris aboo". Kenny B. has mostly the same lyrics I hear, except:

v1: Newbold Morris, sir, our Park Commissioner,

v2: Last line is same as v1, not v3.

v3: There's still the fire hose in case it is needed
Onward with Morris, then, fight the good fight again
Fight for the park site oh Morris aboo!
