Download or read book Folk Songs of the Southern Appalachians as Sung by Jean Ritchie written by Jean Ritchie and published by University Press of Kentucky. This book was released on 1997-03-06 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new edition has faithfully retained all seventy-seven line scores of the songs and added four new ones, Loving Hannah, Lovin' Henry, Her Mantle So Green, and The Reckless and Rambling Boy. The original headnotes and photographs tell the history of the song as well as how it became a part of the family's life. Chords are indicated for accompaniment; however, music notation and the printed word can present only a reasonable facsimile of any actual song.
