That is a perplexing question; Odum seems to assume that the "mountain song" to which he refers will be well known to readers. However, if the song and the line from it were commonly known in 1911 they clearly aren't now, for instance if you google the line you exclusively find references to Odum's article.

Incidentally, I agree with your suggestion in the other thread that 'Kelly's Love' sounds very much like a mondegreen.
