I should have added that Burgie used the name "Lord Burgess" when he toured as a 'folk singer.' He played at The Village Vanguard, and was well known to all the 1950s 'folk singers.' He wrote for the Kingston Trio, among others.

He also co-wrote "Mary's Boy Child," which everyone thinks is a folk carol, and "Angelina." He co-wrote "Day-O" with Attaway. A natural 'folk song' writer, or at least most of what he wrote sounded like folk. A truly great songwriter.
