I don't know about the Putnam County String Band but you can find the lyrics you are looking for in the database. Go to the top of this thread, look in the upper right hand corner for the "Search the Digitrad database", type in the word [Paradise] and up they will pop. The song was written by John Prine, who may or may not be a folk singer. :-)

Beat ya, Joe. :-)

All the best,

Mick
