Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Songs about the Ohio River
Well, I know the chorus (and chorus' tune) to one, but that's it...didn't see it in the database. I can dig up more if you're interested.

La Belle Riviere, the Great Shining Water,
Pasquimapugamu, [sp?] La Fleur de Saint Luis.
No matter the name, the meaning's the same
She's the beautiful river, the Ohio.

This might be the same song that a few others have referred to already, but just in case I thought I would submit it.

As for the Dillon Bustin songs, I know that he wrote "Shantyboating" and "Shawnee Town." Couldn't swear to any others.
