[HNetsky <HNetsky...>]

Thought I'd put this to the list.  The Yiddish in the title seems kind of 
botched (like i'm guessing it's "regn," not "reyen."  On the other hand, 
maybe they're wearing black rayon).  -Hankus

Hankus, any ideas about this song?  (see below)

Subject:    [MLA-L] Yiddish Song Search


Dear Friends,


I have a patron looking for the music (melody and words just fine) of the

Yiddish song "Geyen zey in shvartse Reyen"  I've tried the fairly

substantial collection of Yiddish songbooks we have here and the collection

of Yiddish sheet music we have as well.  I note that several recordings of

it seem to exist but its the music not the recording I'm looking for.  Any

suggestions?
