[Oe List ...] FW: How Long O Lord

Tue Jul 4 14:50:34 PDT 2017

Jean Long here -
Lynda - in singing "If you miss the train..." and then the "How Long" - it
seems to me we wrote words to only the verse three times.  And my
enemies,,, starts the third verse.

Can't fit any words to fit the chorus -  "A hundred miles, a hundred miles,
a hundred miles, a hundred miles, you will hear the whistle blow a hundred
miles.

What a tune!  My group sang this in the 60s - with the Peter, Paul and Mary
harmony, of course.

Hey - might make copies of "The Other Singers" CD available in October.

Great memories,
Jean
