Subject: RE: Tune Req: Crippled Kingfisher
I still sing the version from Mountain Music of Kentucky. How long have I been singing it? When I first started singing it, I was looking FORWARD to the spring of '65. I don't think I'll make the next one. :-) I aolways loved the last verse:

Come all you newsy women, who scatter news about
Don't tell no tales upon us, we're bad enough without
Don't tell no tales upon us, or kick up any fuss
You've been guilty of the same thing, perhaps a whole lot worse
