Thread Name: Sheet Music - you gotta see this!!!
Subject: RE: Sheet Music - you gotta see this!!!
In a note I made up on the song and tune "Pretty Peggy of Derby, O" (in DT file FYVINOTE) I mentioned a traditional song, "The Iron Merrimac", sung by Judge Learned Hand on Library of Congress Folksong LP AFS L29, A2. The original seems to be "The Monitor and Merrimack" in the Levy collection in box 193, item 153. (Do bibliographic search on 'Monitor and') However, with my browser in JEPG, I can't really read much of it, and it has 9 verses compared to Judge Hand's 3. Can anyone else read it? The tune called for on the sheet song is the one that Judge Hand sang it to.
