Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Slowly Does the Trick
I have ordered, on line, Carson J. Robison's World's Greatest Mountain and Western Songs or some title close to that, which contains this song.
Interestingly, it seems that this was published in 1930, three years after Finger's Frontier Ballads, which gives the impression, at least, that Finger learned this song quite some years before. I'm led to suspect that Robison appropriated an older song and claimed it as his own. I'm going to look into that if I can.
Once I have the book I've ordered, I'll post the words, and maybe someone will be able to render the music for MIDI for the DT.
