Subject: RE: changing words of c fox smith poetry in songs
Even the poems get folk processed. Consider "Overseas in India..." which originally was "Behind a trench in Flanders..." (CF Smith's "Homeward") It DOES exist along side of the original work just fine."
   I disagree,Jeri, behind a trench in flanders is correct and is relevant to the first world war and horses being killed in battle, if you think the mention of India is ok, it beggars the question why not overseas in missippi?or overseas in antartica, or oversesas in new zealand.
