1. I love Twain

Seeger/Mitchell make a few changes to the lyrics for flow and vocabulary.

Here's Twain's original.

ETA: different link. The original was to an icky blog with lots of conservative stuff. My apologies.

3. Thanks for a great version (bookmarked for future use)

And the idea of finding this Twain re-write on a conservative blog. I shudder to think what he'd say. Don't they know he wasn't on their side?

4. I didn't stay long

but it looked like a "North Carolina should leave the Union" site. Didn't think it deserved any hits. Probably wrongly saw Twain's "song" as a bash on the Civil War.

2. The up-loader misspelled "Mitchell". NO WONDER I, a CMT FANATIC, never found it!

So----THANK YOU!!!!!!!
