OK, so here's the index of the first volume of Randolph/Legman's "Unprintable Ozark Folksongs and Folklore." It's called Roll Me In Your Arms, published by the University of Arkansas Press in 1992. I paid $19.95 for my one volume at Tower Records, back when Tower was in business. Charlie paid big bucks and got both volumes. Maybe he'll grace us with the index of the second volume. It makes sense to post the index of a significant songbook. That way, the song title will come up in a search, and people will know whom to ask for lyrics and such.
