Wendy_	ADD: Simple Gifts - alt lyrics (25)	RE: Simple Gifts alt lyrics?	30 Mar 01
This doesn't answer the question, but Smithsonian Magazine has an article on Shakers and Sabbathday Lake, here . There's some .wav's with fragments of shaker songs on the music page. "Simple Gifts" is one of them - the fragment is only the first verse. I followed links from there to these pages: Religion in Song: The Craftsmanship of Shaker Music AMERICAN SHAKER MUSIC 150 years of 'Simple Gifts' Also, this month's Saveur magazine has a write up on Shaker cooking.
