He might have got it from Leadbelly. At any rate Leadbelly recorded a spiritual called "Must I Be Carried In The Sky On Flowered Beds Of Ease" for Alan Lomax on 23.08.1940. Apart from the Leadbelly recording, the song (although possibly not the verse) appears pretty rare. The only other version I know about was recorded by the Second Zion Four on 11.12.1929 in New Orleans.
