Thread Name: Lyr Add: Factory Maid and the Clove-Hitch Knot
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Factory Maid and the Clove-Hitch Knot
Rowan, the song sheet is easily seen by entering clove hitch in the Performing Arts Music section of American Memory. The sheet has the heading Factory Maid, and The Clove Hitch Knot with the first song to the left, and the song mentioning the clove hitch to the right. Perhaps the first song is titled "Factory Maid," and the second "The Clove Hitch Knot," but this is not clear. Only the second names the preacher as the villain; the songs are very different and not by the same person.
There is a third song (perhaps more versions as well?) with 12 stanzas, and other material I can't access.
