This morning on NPR radio (2/2/01) Bob Edward interviewed a man (last name Moore) from the Appalachians of Kentucky. He talked about a song whose umpteenth verse started, "Mother, take me in your arms and hold me tight." It was sung by a man, unaccompanied. Apparently it had many verses. I have tried the NPR listings, but came up with something different about Appalachia. What I want to know is who was singing. Wouldn't mind perusing the remainder of the words.
