Guest-

There are no other verses of "Roun' the Corner, Sally" in THE MUSIC OF BLACK AMERICANS, pp. 180. However, the Forebitter version which I just listened to again begins with the grand chorus and the first verse as in the above and then adds different verses, one of which is typically sung in "Bully in the Alley." When I get some time I'll post their version here. It's a good listen and the tune is probably similar to the one notated in the above.

There are aslo a lot of versions of "Goin' Down to Georgia."

We needs a time machine to sort them out!

Cheerily,
Charley Noble
