Thread Name: Question about Lakes of Pontchartrain song
Subject: RE: Question about Lakes of Pontchartrain song
The version in Sam Henry supposedly dates from 1905, it may be a UK rewrite (or is the song originally from the UK?). We don't know what definition of 'Creole' was in the mind of the composer (discussed at length in one of the linked threads).
