Thread Name: Lyr Req: Dear Old Halifax (Merle Travis)
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: I live in dear old Sydney ..[NovaScotia]
Merle Travis recorded DEAR OLD HALIFAX. It begins:
In Nova Scotia I was born near Sydney on the bay, But once I went to Halifax to spend a holiday....
That's all I was able to hear in a sound sample. The tune resembles DEAR OLD DONEGAL. It's on the Merle Travis CD "Folk Songs of the Hills (Back Home/Songs of the Coal Miners)" Bear Family CD 15636, 1994.
