Thread Name: Tune Origins: 1913 Massacre (Woody Guthrie)
Subject: RE: Origins: Woody Guthrie's 1913 Massacre

Have I got this right, then?

1) Woody uses "Nightingale" for "1913" and then Dylan uses "1913" for "Hey hey Woody Guthrie I wrote you a song".

2) Dominic Behan uses "Nightingale" for "Patriot Game" and then Dylan uses "Patriot Game" for "God On Our Side".

Where did Woody hear "Nightingale", I wonder?

By the way, I've been going around telling folks that the tune for "Ludlow Massacre" was derived from the Carter Family's "No Depression". Or maybe I've got that wrong too?
