Hi,
Im not sure if Im posting this in the right place or not, if not, I do appolgize.
Im looking for some lyrics to some old folk songs. #I know they have been passed down for at least the past 4-5 generations. #All his brothers (5 of them) can play like you've never heard before http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif #They know the music, but are not sure of all the lyrics. #I am hoping someone out there can point me in the right direction or might know where I can find them. #Ive been looking for weeks now.
Sourwood Peaks
Ballad of the Martins and Coys (this one is based on their family, not the one based on WWII)
Wreck of the old (ole)#5 or might be known as Wreck of the ole C&O. #I found one version, however, it is not the right one. #The one I am looking for he is laying in the track broken in half..or along that line.
Places I have checked:
Max Hunter Folk Song Collection (http://www.smsu.edu/folksong/maxhunter/index.html)
Muleskinner Jones (http://www.muleskinnerjones.com/index.html)
Ron's Folk Music Cords and Lyrics (http://members.aol.com/rongrittz/page/chords.htm)
Free Country and Rock Sheet Music (http://www.brandononline.com/)
Singingfish (http://www.singingfish.com/)
Any help is much appreciated! http://www.mandolincafe.net/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif
