Subject: RE: Lyr Req: The Winding Stream (Carter Family)
The language of this song strikes me as victorian, almost Romantic in tone and diction. Yet, I can find no reference for it prior to AP Carter.
In my ear the language of this poem-like song is quite different than APs writing and adaption.
Does anyone know or suspect where this song may have come from?
