Thread Name: Lyr Req: River of Jordan (from Peter Paul & Mary)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: There is only one river / River of Jordan
Peer Music- (www.peermusic.com) holds A. P. Carter's copyright for "River of Jordan."
APRS/BMI hold 277 titles copyright by A. P. Carter; a real moneymaker.

However, there is more than one song by that title. Joe has given you the name of the copyright holder for the Yarrow song.

A lot of books pass through my hands, and if a copyright song is mentioned in the book, it is always made clear that the title or phrase is used with permission from the copyright holder.
