[Dixielandjazz] songs with verses

[David Richoux]

A very good place to look is mudcat.org - they have collected lyrics for thousands of old blues, some early jazz, "folk" and similar old-time songs. Often there is lively discussion about lyric variations...

Just put the title or keyword in their search block.
