Subject: RE: Origins: The authors of the 'Carter Family songs'
Thanks Q,

I'd like to go back and look again at some of songs we didn't find a viable source. The lyrics should be found early in this thread. Here are the first four:

*Away Out on Saint Sabbath: 1872 Chorus, Verses unknown date- A rewrite of an unknown song based on "Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie" from a ballet (lyrics) set to music in 1934 by the Carter Family.

*Birds Were Singing of You: Unknown date; based on an unknown song by A.P. Carter. Carters-1930

*Blackie's Gunman: Unknown Date; Rewrite of an unknown song. Referenced to Wilgus. Carters-1940

*Broken Hearted Lover: 1800s- Arrangement of an unknown traditional song; Carters-1932 and 1935

Anyone?
