Thread Name: What makes it a Folk Song?
Subject: RE: What makes it a Folk Song?
I've never heard anything by Johnny Mathis.
I occasionally trundle out When a Child is Born, though I tend to sing it to the melody of Mutton Pie (as sung by Jim Eldon) so maybe it don't count...
Its all a dream and illusion now It must come true, sometimes soon somehow All across the land dawns a brand new morn This comes to pass when a child is born
With the fol-the-diddle di-do, fol the diddle-dee!
