Randolph came to doubt that they would ever appear in print, and they did not in his lifetime. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cem\u003eRoll Me in Your Arms\u003c\/em\u003e, Volume I of \"Unprintable\" Ozark Folksongs and Folklore, includes 180 unexpurgated songs collected by Randolph with tunes transcribed from the original singers. Volume II, \u003cem\u003eBlow the Candle Out\u003c\/em\u003e, contains rhymes and songs without music as well as other unexpurgated Ozark folk materials, including children's lore, elements in speech, graffiti, riddles, dance calls, and beliefs. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e G. Legman's painstaking and patient editing, annotating, and crossreferencing richly complement the Randolph collection. The result is a look into a previously neglected area in the study of folksong and folklore in the Ozarks and further evidence of Randolph's preeminence in the field. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The late Vance Randolph lived in the Ozark Mountains from 1920 until his death in 1980.
