Pinetop Slim	Origins: Wildwood Flower / I'll Twine 'Mid the ... (168* d)	RE: 1950 Nova Scotia ~ Wildwood Flower'	01 Nov 02
The way I've heard the story, the Carter version is based on an old parlor song, "I'll Twine Mid the Ringlets." I've seen the lyrics to it and they're not the same as you've posted. Somebody other than the Carters may have revised the song into the one you sang in the '50s, or it may be a revision of the Carter revision. Somebody more knowledgeable should be along shortly to solve the mystery.
