Folk songs are written by FOLKS......I do not know of a horse or a
possum that wrote a song...but some jackai try to sing 'em
as Woody said "when you play music by ear, it don't mean you wiggle your ears to sound the tune...."
does it sound good ??? do people hum along to the tune, or listen to it over and over to learn the words ???
it's a folk song (even the pop stuff has worked its' way into the folk medium....
new verses added or new words to an old tune ???? it's part of the FOLK PROCESS
keep on singin' and strummin'
