Thread Name: Origins: Duncan and Brady
Subject: RE: Origins: Duncan and Brady
So I'm still working on my book of parallel versions of folk songs recorded by multiple artists during the folk music revival period of the 50's and 60's.

I own about 5,000 recordings that I consider "folk songs" which were recorded by at least three artists that I consider "folk artists" during that period.

I've got recordings of "Brady and Duncan" (cross listed as "Duncan and Brady" and "Brady, Brady, Brady") by Lead Belly, Dave Van Ronk, Tom Rush, Dave Guard & Whiskeyhill Singers, Judy Henske, and Hoyt Axton.

But try though I might I can't transcribe the first two lines of the Whiskey Hill Singer's version!?!

What the heck are the words up to "electric car?"
