Sandy Paton Lyr Req: I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler (46) RE: I'm a rambler, I'm a gambler 01 Aug 00


A lot of the old lyric songs are verbal slurpees (or, perhaps drawn from a Chinese Restaurant menu: One verse from Column A, one from Column B, etc.). A lot of the old fiddle and banjo tunes used "zipper verses" to create what were, essentially, new songs. "My horses ain't hungry" would qualify as being "one from Column A."
