I don't think he means mistakes... the 2 songs share the same melody and chord progression... I'm sure that's all he meant... Tom

Railroad Bill , thank you and all the others who post tabs on BHO , I just kept hearing Red wing in my head when I listened to your tab and had never Heard Union Maid before. I would get them confused real fast.

Actually I think Woody Guthrie just took the melody from Red Wing and wrote his own lyrics (although on woodyguthrie.org they claim him to have written the music, too).
I for my part know more versions of "Union Maid" than of "Red Wing" (e.g. W. Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Old Crow Medicine Show), and since it wasn't listed under that name here, I figured I'd post some.
Have a nice weekend!
