Thread Name: Lyr Req: 'The Lost Colony' of NC songs?
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 'The Lost Colony' of NC songs?
Nothing traditional that I'm aware of, and I'm pretty sure that Brown and Chappell have none. On the other hand, Paul Green wrote an outdoor musical drama called "The Lost Colony" that has played there for more than 70 years. I've never seen it, myself, but my niece did and loved it, and I bought her a very inexpensive copy of the book with the history of the play, the script, and the song lyrics (no music as I recall, but that was 10 or 15 years ago. Abebooks.com lists 48 copies, starting at $1.50.). Quite likely 20th cent singer/songwriters have taken up the subject.
