1. Throughout this world I'm bound to ramble, through sun and wind and driving rain...

This is from the old trad song "I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow." Try singing the words "sun and wind and.." This was not written by a singer.

2. From "I Wonder As I Wander:"

for poor orn'ry people like you and like I...

Makes me grit my teeth ev'ry time I hear it. No true folk song would have kept such clumsy language over the years.
