GUEST,redhorse Are folk lyrics ever 'wrong?' (77* d) RE: Are folk lyrics ever 'wrong?' 24 May 01

What do you do with something like the Carter Family "Wildwood Flower"? The words as published are obviously garbled, but that's the way it's sung: should we copy the recorded version warts and all or re-interpret to make sense of it?
