Sergeant Where's Mine
filename[ SARGWHER

Title should be in ALLCAPS, according to DT criteria. It's in Title Case just now.

Also note there are numerous problems with the lyrics in the DT. We still have disagreement on the lyrics, but you will find the most recent composite transcription here (click). I will continue adding corrections until you mark it as harvested.

Bright Morning Stars - filename[ BRTMORNS
Extraneous punctuation in the first verse.
!&Bright morning stars are rising,

THERE WAS A YOUNG WOMAN WHO SWALLOWED A LIE
filename[ SWALLLIE

-songwriter is Meredith Tax, 1970.
The transcription is pretty good, but I posted somewhat different lyrics from a Sing Out! article written by Meredith Tax in 1971. Changing to the lyrics I posted would produce lyrics that are a little easier to figure out - lyrics are in this message (click)



Jame's Taylor's "Lonesome Road" (filename filename[ LONSMRD2 ) appears twice in the database - once with a tune - #8394, and once without - #3685.

Take a look at "The Yorkshire Couple
filename[ YORKCOUP

The verses aren't separated correctly, and it makes the song very hard to follow. At the very least, I'd suggest reorganizing the song as I've done in this message
