Thread Name: Origins: Tramps and Hawkers
Subject: RE: tramps and hawkers
I have Tramps and Hawkers on an LP of Alex Campbell's, the first folk LP I ever bought back in the 60s. Now I have a CD by Old Blind Dogs where they've really funked it up (yes, that was an n in the middle there!) Sorry, but I prefer the older version!
I also had a "discussion" with someone re the tune for "Lake(s) of Ponchartrain" being the same as the one used for "Flora, the Lily of the West": it IS the same tune on the Chieftains' "The Long Black Veil" CD, as sung by Mark Knopfler: the other person was adamant that I was wrong! But I do also remember the other tune for "Flora" on a Joan Baez LP.
But I agree with Scrump: not the same tune as the usual one for T & H.
