New Railroad (American Trad)
This is track 8 on Graeme Knights’ album ‘Life Is A Song’
It was originally from the cotton mills of Lancashire, England, as a ballad called Single Girl; then it crossed to America, where it was adopted by railway workers, who changed some of the lyrics and added their ‘John Henry’ tradition. It was rediscovered by Rufus Crisp in Kentucky in 1948
