Dear John,

Thank you very much for the references to Folk-Songs of the South. You are, as always, Chief of the Folk Song Detective Squad.

I don't know whether you have Folk-Songs of the South. If you don't, let me know and I'll keep an eye out for you. Some Mudcatters might want to know that it is a collection of West Virginia songs. It's Maggie Gordon is very, very close to the songster version.

By the way, as a special treat, the songster version was quoted "As sung by Dennis F. Murphy, the Irish Nightingale."

All the best,
Dan
