Thread Name: Lyr Req: Washington, Washington (Vinikow, Hughes)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Washington State Calypso Song
"Washington, Washington" is in Linda Allen's book "Washington Songs and Lore," which I have. Instead of giving you half-remembered words, I'll look it up tonight and post the words this weekend, unless somebody like Mary G beats me to it. I'm particularly fond of that book, because Linda included my little "Apple Maggot Quarantine Round" -- one of the very few of my songs that have actually been published!

Seth, you've certainly got me beat for distance moved away from the Northwest! And you do have the chorus right, except I think it's "the mountain range". And the big clam whose name sounds like "gooeyduck" is actually spelled "geoduck", heaven knows why.

Aloha,
Mark
