03 Dec 98 - 08:05 AM (#47771) Subject: RE: Shenandoah From: Susan-Marie I looked up this thread two weeks ago and after reading it came to the conclusion that you can know TOO MUCH about a folk song! ;-) I'll be singing it for a church service and I just hope I don't break into the X-rated version. |

07 May 99 - 02:59 PM (#76450) Subject: RE: Shenandoah From: Allan C. Yes, Dbtila3457 (can I call you Db for short?) we have lyrics. Lots of 'em! Simply enter the word Shenandoah into the box at the top right of the screen and the song will appear. This also works for words which are specific to a particular song, such as "ghost" which will bring up a number of candidates which contain that word. Short phrases such as "be careful how you court your men" would have similar results. Try it. it is great! We hope you will stick around long enough for you to get to know us and vice versa. Welcome! |

This is one of our finest regaldless of the version you sing. According to my book words and melody addapted by John and Allan Lomax. No date. It is a true folk song. bet |
