Sandy Paton Lyr Req: Old Smoky / Old Smokey (Roscoe Holcomb) (18) RE: Roscoe Holcomb 28 Apr 99


I collected a version of this song from Joseph Able Trivett in the mountains of East Tennessee. He called it "Go Away From Me, Young Man." I could post his lyrics, but Taber is looking for the words as sung by Rosco Holcomb. I'll have to see if it's included on the original LP that John Cohen recorded of Roscoe -- the one with that great photograph of Holcomb on the cover. If the song is on that record, the text will be in the booklet that came with it (and bless the late Moe Asch for those booklets!). If it's there, I'll post the text tomorrow.

Sandy
