Sandy Paton Lyr Req: Down on Penney's Farm / Penny's Farm (32) RE: Lyr Req: Down on Penney's Farm 07 Dec 01


If memory serves, John Greenway prints a "Roberts' Farm" version in his American Folksongs of Protest. Pete Seeger recorded "Penny's Farm" somewhere, I'm sure. I think it was from Pete's singing that I learned it, years ago. The Bently Boys recording, nicely remastered and devoid of all the old 78 rpm noises, is on one of the great Yazoo CD compilations - Volume 1 of the Hard Times Come Again No More, I think, although I don't have those CDs with me right now to check on it. Caroline, bless her everlovin' heart, has stolen them from my shelf here at the computer and added them to her personal shelf downstairs. I ask you now, isn't that grounds...?
