Here are some notes on the Appalachian version of the same ballad.
Thread drift: this has been recorded separately by Pete and Peggy Seeger, and also by the New Lost City Ramblers (presumably, although I haven't bothered to check that recording, Mike). So how many other ballads have been recorded by all of those family members?
