GUEST,Willem Lindeboom Lyr Req: Searchin' for a soldier's grave (14) RE: Lyr Req: Searchin' for a soldier's grave 24 Mar 01

Thank all of you for your information so far The lyric from Sorcha matches pretty good with the lyrics Dylan uses. Dylan often puts small changes to the lyrics he uses. Dylan starts with the verse "You ask me" /chorus /the verse "Beside each crossmark" / chorus Dylan doesn't use the verse "When I come to the spot"

Written before 1943 it's most likely that the song is about WW I. I'm not sure that the Americans fought in Flanders-Belgium but I'll find out about that.

Are the writers of this song Americans ?
