"Song Fest"...A lot of us had copies of it during the "Great Folk Scare" of the late 1950's and early '60's.

I bought mine my freshman year in college, '59-'60. Yellow cover with red main title and gray sub-text. Copyright 1948, 1955 by R. L. Best. Marked "Seventh Printing, October, 1959."

It fell apart a decade or two ago and I three-hole punched the pages and put them in a binder.

If the political correctness police find out I have it, I'll probably be dragged away for reeducation and sensitivity training, based on the number of songs in it written in supposed "darky" dialect.
