Thread Name: Lyr Req: Village Churchyard (Roscoe Holcomb)
Subject: RE: Roscoe Holcomb lyrics
I see this thread was started 6 years ago, but what the hey ... My guess is that Mr. Holcomb was citing "The Old Baptist Songbook" generically; the lyrics might have come from "The Sweet Songster," or one of the pamphlet books of lyrics that elders and deacons frequently self-publish for their churches or "sosations" (associations) in Holcomb's corner of Kentucky.
