Part of the chorus ended: ... "I'm gonna miss you, honey, when the winter winds begin to blow, And the ground is covered up with snow". I'd love to have the rest of this, and tune too come to that. Thanks. Murray. |

24 Mar 97 - 05:35 PM (#3457) Subject: RE: Frankie & Johnny From: LaMarca There's LOTS of different versions of Frankie and Johnny; this one sounds like the version by Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers, a string band from the 1920's or 30's; lots of modern old-time bands (if that's not a contradiction) have done it. Try checking the DT database for the Poole version; if it's not there, Mike Seeger published a song book of old-time songs done by The New Lost City Ramblers which is bound to include it. |
