Lyrics for Old Time Songs

2014-11-08 12:48:49 UTC

Here's a songbook I found on the web that was created for people to learn the lyrics for old time songs. Although lyrics often get changed and mixed up, this book appears to have the most popular lyrics so it should be very useful to the singers amongst us. Many of the songs on here are in it...

I'd appreciate someone checking this to make sure I have the order of the parts right. I've copied from Rachel Eddy's 2014 SFSS class notes. it's tabbed here as A1,A2,A1,A2 B,B

I wasn't sure whether it should have been A1,A1,A2,A2,B,B
