Just for info - is it the version 1924 Fiddlin' John Carson & Moonshine Kate which can be heard on the Honking Duck web site.
If so, others might follow the link and give opinions of what they hear. p.s. it is in Real Audio format, so you need a set-up which will recognise Real Audio files.
I recommend that you install Real Alternative rather than the official Real Player, which is riddled with intrusive junk you don't want on a PC.

I've just listened to the version on Honking Duck, and what you have typed in your second posting looks pretty close to what they are singing. It is mostly minor differences such as "they's" and "them's" as far as I can see.
At least the singing is fairly understandable, unlike Uncle Dave Macon, who is the subject of serious discussions trying to decipher exactly what he sings.
Quack!
GtD.
