GUEST,Malaguena Lyr Req: Rare Folk-Lyric Recycling Bin (3) Rare Folk-Lyric Recycling Bin 12 Aug 01


Q: Dylan does it, so why do I feel guilty pasting
together lyrics from different songs and calling the
results my own?

A: Because the result doesn't Feel like your own. So
what you need to do, (writing them from scratch aside) is
find lyrics that are more obscure.

Lets start a thread of obscure, old or traditional, lyrics. Alot of regional folk lyrics from around the globe are on the internet, but too often they're not in English. Like Turkish folk songs- I've found tons but all of them are in Turkish. Anyone?

My small offering: Found some shaker hymn lyrics at this site www.passtheword.org/SHAKER-MANUSCRIPTS/index.html#Index
