<< Dear John Moulden,
Thank you very much I found a printed version in: Francis & Days Camp fire
& fire side song book which was in the shelf right next to a community song
book. - In good company. I know it is not a ballad. But I didn't know where
else to get help. Thankful: Barbara Boock >>
You're welcome - I'm interested in popular song books like the one you
mention because my interest is as much in people singing as in the songs they
sing. Of course, from an aesthetic point of view it's much better if they
sing ballads and sing well. The comment about it not being a ballad was not
because I was critical of you but because I find discussion of distinctions
about songs pointless when I am worried about the survival of people's habit
of singing.
John Moulden
