Subject: RE: Sea-song pronunciations question
And in Shenandoah, I hate it when everyone sings Misery instead of Missouri (eye) and on this site
people say Missour-ee and others say Missour-uh? As the word doesn't rhyme with anything else in the verse, it would be correct to sing it the way it was origonally sung.

Oh and Rio Grande; should it be Ryo Grande? The people from there say Rio Granday.
