GUEST,Thomas the Rhymer	When did Gordon Smith write? (8)	When did Gordon Smith write?	05 May 02
I'm eating crow for lunch today... Having looked up a song I've been singing out lately, I've had the unfortunate revelation that I've been passing off a field recorded version of "Come by the hills" as a 'traditional' song... The digitrad explicitly states that the tune is traditional, BUT THE LYRICS WERE WRITTEN BY Gordon Smith!!! Oh,... The Humilliation!!! And I occasionally thought I was a careful folk scholar... Yikes! The fellow said that his mom sang it to him when he was young, and this would have been in the 20's or 30's I presume... Can anyone help?
