Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Rising Sun (Leadbelly)

I think it was not in Ledbelly´s repertory, it was Josh White who did it first, wasn´t it?

On Saturday I will ask our trumpet player for the lyrics of WAY DOWN YONDER IN NEW ORLEANS. He sings it regulary so he knows.

I know only a few parts of it by memory now.
