American Ballads and Folk songs compiled by John and Alan Lomax (Macmillan Co. 1949). A collection of authentic lyrics and musical notation recorded by John and Alan Lomax as they travelled the United States documenting the American Folk tradition. Inside are collected songs and reels of all sorts--from the railroads, the bars, the fields, and including popular tunes like "Skip to My Lou" and "John Henry." This collection--in its original cloth retailer binding--is perfect for any musician, folklorist, historian, or student of the American folk tradition. This edition features a foreword by George Lyman Kitteridge.

Interesting that this copy of the book apparently made it's way from Laos, to Miami, according to the stamp on the inside cover. And it could make it's way to you next!
