Subject: RE: ADD: Uncle Dave Macon Lyrics
Hi Guest

Thanks. I listened again to 'Over the Road I'm Bound to Go', but I am sure Uncle Dave is singing 'can't you see' - whoever did the transcription for the NLCR songbook also hears this. Your 'came to see' would certainly make more sense though.

The last line of the chorus of 'I'm Goin' Away in the Morn' is also a complete mystery to me. I've seen it as 'with sorrow in her heart', but I can't hear that either. Sometimes I hear something like 'sounds of the dinner horn'. Whatever it is, it is probable that the final word would rhyme with 'morn'.
