Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Lyrics-Joy Across the Land
Bud, good point. Sometimes I quit searching when I find find what I'm after. I went for the CD for obvious reasons in the title. That connected me to the album from the same concert. Since the CD format is the easiest to pause frequently and transcribe from, I used it. And I didn't look for any more versions. When I am paying attention to what I type, I try to include weasle words that allow for additional data as it becomes available. Sometimes I forget. I see I did have the "atleast" qualifier above. that's the good thing about the mudcat, people add the bits and pieces of what they know and ideally a fairly complete picture can emerge. Your knowing that the song was on the Sing Out album is especially important because I think that album was/is more widely known than the two that I cited. I suppose the next question to ask is "Did they change any lyrics between versions?"
