Thread Name: Lyr Req: Deep Fork River Blues (Tom Paxton)
Subject: RE: Deep Fork River Blues
I made some inadvertent changes to the song over the years, having learned it in the 60s from Tom's first record. Rick made a few more changes when he recorded it on his Borealis CD. Sure hope Tom's cool about folks who man(person)handle his creative work! Actually, I asked him about the song at a festival we did in Wisconsin a few years back, and he allowed that he almost never sings it anymore. Too bad. It's a good and very folk-like song.
