Buffalo girls coming out tonight - staff notation
X:4
T:Buffalo girls coming out tonight
S: Collected by Janet Blunt - J.H.B. 705
Z: Taz Tarry, 4/1/2014
L:1/8
N: No. 4
N:The first tune looks like a first 'working out' draft. It had no clef sign and the last three words in each line of words were after the stave.
N: I've tried to show this in my transcription and also for the first line of words try to align the words with
N: the notes as Janet Blunt had them.  This wasn't really possible generally for the second line of words.
N: The second tune is clearly where she has worked it out properly but omits the second line of words.
N: Finally in the sixth bar of the second tune, the final 'to' is hanging on it's own in the manuscript for which I've used a tilde to get an aprpoximation of the spacing.
