Subject: RE: HYMNS and Folk Tunes?
The tune to "The Lily of the Valley" (Click here for lyrics & MIDI) is from W.S. Hayes' "Little Old Log Cabin in the Lane" (1871) (Click here for lyrics & MIDI). Fiddlin' John Carson recorded a fiddle version in 1923, which became "the first commercially marketed hillbilly record."
