Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Leadbelly From: Lin in Kansas Date: 31 Oct 01 - 11:15 PM The version in the DT is called "In The Pines (Black Girl)". There's a slew of threads discussing it. Oddly enough, the bluegrass version of "In the Pines" makes no mention of body parts, nor of black girls, although it does mention "the longest train I've ever seen..." Lin

Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Where Did You Sleep Last Night (Leadbelly From: tenn_jim Date: 31 Oct 11 - 02:32 PM Actually this song dates back into the late 1800's. Almost every songster who did folk and minstrel has performed a verson of the song. Bill Monroe made it a "bluegrass" standard, while Leadbelly did the "Blues" version. It was one of the first tunes I learned as a young boy in Appalachia. |
