Thread Name: What song has the most versions?
Subject: RE: BS: What song has the most versions?
I should have mentioned that Joe Hickerson has gathered over 400 versions of "Our Goodman" or "Five Nights Drunk." That ballad was the subject of his dissertation, which he never finished. Maybe now that he's retired, he'll get around to that.
