Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Escape of Old John Webb/Billy Broke Locks
in the 1940's, John and Lucy Allison recorded an album for KEYNOTE
"Early American Ballads" (K103, 3-78rpm records) which included:

PATRIOTIC DIGGERS      
THE GREENLAND FISHERY
NANTUCKET LULLABY
Sir Peter Parker
Ballad of Saratoga
Unfortunate Miss Bailey
Ballad Of The Tea Party & Escape Of Old John Webb

If anyone has the booklet which accompanied the album, I would be interested in any cited source.
Wonder if the Allisons introduced these songs to the folk revival ???
Best wishes, Thomas.
