27 Aug 09 - 03:04 AM (#2709605) Subject: Is it just me or the prison song 'Rosie' From: TinDor sound somewhat similar to the Beatles "Come Together"? It's the part when Lennon starts his lyrics/verse Beatles "Come Together" Beatles "Negro Prison Songs / "Rosie"1947 [RARE]" |

The Beatles were well brought up lads, in skiffle groups. Everybody was listening to records like Murderers' Home then, or if not that than Lonnie Donegan's version of the songs. Thanks for posting Rosie. Reminds me just how powerful that stuff was when I first heard it as a kid. That's why I love folk music. They don't they teach the students to sing like that at the Department of Folkology, more's the pity. |

For anyone who hasn't looked it up, it means (literally) "Long may your chimney smoke with other people's coal". I'm happily burning Dr. Bronson's coal, among that of others. |

Or a good website for folksong lyrics in general. In my class right now we have to write comparisons but sometimes it is quite difficult when don't have the full lyrics for slave songs, work songs, prison songs, spirituals, etc. |
