Randolph, Ozark Folksongs Very little, and no folksongs, omitted fron the 2nd edition of Ozark Folksongs by Randolph. Omitted are 13 songs, 6 in the DT or threads at Mudcat (maybe more, sometimes I am DT and Forum challenged): I have no loving mother now Why do you bob your hair, girls? (In the DT and thread 11005) The spelling song The ship that is sailing by If I was on some foggy mountain top (In the DT) Once I had a sweetheart (In the DT) How sadly my heart yearns toward you Mother, the queen of my heart (In the DT) A distant land to roam Moonlight and skies Turnip greens (Thread 16526) Beautiful, beautiful brown eyes (DT and thread 6744) He kept a-kissin' on
All of these are early tin pan alley or modern country songs which are readily available elsewhere. I'll let McGrath spend his fortune on the 1st.
Take your pick- The 1st ed. at up to $400 or more, or the 2nd ed. in new condition at $125.
