Thread Name: 'Floyd Collins' recording, not Dalhart
Subject: RE: 'Floyd Collins' recording, not Dalhart
As copied from the original sheet music, C.1935, published by Shapiro, Bernstein & Co. "The Death of Floyd Collins" Words by Rev Andrew Jenkins, Music by Mrs. Irene Spain.

Oh come all you young people and listen while I tell;

The fate of Floyd Collins A lad we all know well

His face was fair and handsome, his heart was true and brave:

His body now lies sleeping in a lonely sand stone grave.

I just looked ahead at the music and there are 8 more verses, which exceeds my ambition by 8 verses. Please send me your fax # or snail-mail name and address and I will send you a photocopy of Floyd C.
