Thread Name: Lyric drift.
Subject: RE: Lyric drift.
The first verse of "Wildwood Flower" is a prime example...(we had a LOOOOONG discussion on it a couple years ago, including botanical analyses, but the scholars still bicker)

I can deal with natural 'lyric drift', commonly called folk processing, but when the folk processor gets set on 'pureƩ', I get upset.
