Thread Name: Lyr Req: Banks of the Ohio (modern version)
Subject: RE: Modern Version of Banks of the Ohio ?
It you search the database for #628, you'll find four versions of the traditional song, all with the same unpleasant results.
There is an attempt at a more pleasant version in this thread, which also contains a memorable line from our resident curmudgeon, Bill D. If you search the database for banks Ohio, you'll come up with several songs, but most don't fit this tune. It's such a beautiful tune that you'd think the lyrics would be beautiful, too - but they aren't.
