Subject: RE: Origins: Child Ballads: US Versions Part 3
Here's a gr8 version from Alabama: Ra-Ta-Tum-De-Dum. I need help transcribing it. Anyone clear up two missing parts? Link below

I put a photo of Archie Hughes (singer of the 1863 version above) on my site:

If anone has Texas Gladden's lyrics I'd like to add them,
