Young Buchan	'Authentic' new 'old folk songs' (43)	RE: 'Authentic' new 'old folk songs'	27 Nov 11
As Lighter suggests, the problem comes at the margins with rewrites. Sally Gardens is by Yeats with 3 lines of You Rambling Boys of Pleasure which is Trad. O'Casey wrote Red Roses For Me, but I've heard enough elderly drunken Irishmen tell me he stole bits it from a traditional song to make me wonder - probably not since if you buy them a couple more drinks they will usually tell you that he stole it from them personally!
