GUEST,Guest: Richie Help: Age of 'East Virginia'? (87* d) RE: Help: Age of 'East Virignia'? 20 Aug 02


East Virgina: AK- "East Virginas Blues" is a sub-set of the "In Old Virginny" songs classified by Cecil Sharp. Most start off, "I was born in old Virginny to South Carlina(or whatever state) I did go".

This is the source of "Man of Constant Sorrow", a version of which is included in Sharp's from 1918. Subsequent branches include, "Darling think of what you've done" which I sing "going back to old Virginny" and the "Dark Hollow," "Greenback Dollar" songs.

If anyone wants specific lyrics or details let me know. richiematt@aol.com
