I'm looking for the original version of 2 songs recorded by Kate Wolf, which are listed as 'Woody Guthrie' songs. I can't find a trace of those songs in Woody's discography.
They are on Kate's posthumous album 'Carry it on'. (there's a third Guthrie song on it, Highway in the Wind, but that Arlo song I did find!).

The 2 'Woody(?)'-songs are:

(1) 'Forsaken Lover' (How I miss you/ Oh how I miss you/ how I wish that you were he-ere/ I'm your o-old forsaken lover/ and my heart is sad and drear);

(2)'One by one' (One by one my teardrops fall as I write you/ One by one my dreams are fading fast away), a magnificent song.

I did see a cover of 'One by one' recently done by Billy Bragg. But no trace of Woody's original.
Could it be Kate retitled the songs ("How I miss you" seems to be a more logical title for (1)), or are they other artist's songs?

Who can help me find Woody's original....?

In the liner notes of "Carry It On" I found this info after the lyrics to "Forsaken Lover":

copyright 1996 Ludlow Music (BMI)

Originally written in 1939. Additional lyrics were located on a Woody Guthrie tape from 1951. Kate's version on this album was recorded at a Woody Guthrie memorial concert in Berkeley and contains only a portion of the many lyrics Woody wrote over a period of time for this song. (Info was provided by Judy Bell at Ludlow Music.)

In addition to what Janet found for you, those two song titles were also found on this page in the Woody Guthrie Foundation and Archives website. www.woodyguthrie.org/songs2findingaid.htm
"Old Forsaken Lover" is 4(99) in the list.
"One by One" is 4(143) in the list.
I'm sure the good folks at the WGFA would be able to give you more info to these or any other of Woody's songs you have in question.
Here's that link to get you linked up with them.

Let us know what you find out from them!
