Don't know the answer to the recording question, JH'sH. But I couldn't help noticing, from Don Meixner's posted chords, that this is a perfect example of the "I-IV-V" songs we were discussing today on the
Beginning Guitar Tips thread... y'know, the thing I was trying to explain in this post.

This song's chords are:
C - G - C - G - C - F - C - G - C - G - C

...which makes the chord progression:
I - V - I - V - I - IV - I - V - I - V - I

GUEST harpgirl (I wonder if that was her and not someone posing as her) made a very broad assumption when she said, "One hearing should usually suffice to pick up the general melody of any folk song." Even if that were true, and it is by no means true for every musician, picking up a song's melody by ear doesn't necessarily mean that one has picked up the chord progressions by ear at the same time. JHH made a simple and polite request for lyrics and chords. GUEST harpgirl then made a snap judgment of him that began with "With all due respect" (which generally denotes sarcasm and a lack of respect) and an assertion that not only he but all musicians should be at her level of musicianship. JHH's knee-jerk reaction of dropping the F-bomb may have been a bit rude, but it seems like GUEST harpgirl was rude first.
