Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Poor Old Woman/Housewife's Lament
Hi, Maeve - a full discussion of whatever you find, should appear in a thread on the song, so it's there for everybody to see and comment on. The "attribution" thread is reserved for ready-to-go corrections to the Digital Tradition. Entries in the "Attribution" thread should be clear and concise - and please be aware that posts in that thread are discarded once the information is harvested for the Digital Tradition. I edited your post for clarity and format, and deleted your copy-paste of the Digital Tradition transcription of the song because it was redundant and confusing.

The information you found is valuable indeed - but it belongs in this thread in complete form (where it will remain permanently), and then boiled down to the bare essentials in the "attributions" thread.
