Thread Name: Little Mohea - variants from Mississippi
Subject: RE: Broadside variants from Mississippi
Stan Hugill sings his version on his CD "Sailing Days" (1992). It's a hybrid of both "The Lass of Mohee" and "The Indian Lass," to an odd modal tune. When he sang it at Mystic in '88 or '89, somebody said, "That's not in any of your books, is it?" Stan replied, "I know plenty of songs that aren't in my books !"
