GUEST,John Bari Origins: Libba Cotten's Freight Train (21) RE: Origins: Libba Cotten's Freight Train 06 Jun 20

I'm reading this with interest noting the "similar" songs are not entirely the same and tunes unknown. So let me ask this question. If this song can be credited to Elizabeth Cotten, and she did in fact hold a copyright in the 1960's, is it still under copyright? She wrote it in the first decade of the 20th century but it wasn't published until the 1950's. Hmmm...
