Thread Name: 'New' verses to old songs
Subject: RE: 'New' verses to old songs
I sing 'Early one Morning', which is a good chorus song, but one that always seemed to end too soon (I could only find 4 traditional verses). When I reached the end on one occassion, just as everyone was getting into the swing of it, the MC of the club suggested I write a couple of new verses of my own to pad it out. That I did, and have been singing them ever since at various places. I never mention that they're not part of the original song and, so far, nobody has queried me on them, so hopefully they sound reasonably authentic!
