I find I have 2 recordings with the same variants, that look to go back to the same source. One already mentioned is Ralph Stanley and Kathy Mattea on Clinch Mountain Country. Ralph heard it from John and Dave Morris.

The 2nd recording I have is Dwight Diller with Northampton Harmony/Cordelia's Dad on Diller's New Plowed Ground: West Virginia Mountain Music. Diller says "From George Tucker, Beaver, KY. Met him there in the early '70's while playing music with David and John Morris."
