Hi!

Just had a friend check the sleeve notes of the Joan Baez album he got it off.

The song was apparently collected in 1890 "in bluegrass country" and published in "Spiritual Folksongs of Early America" by George Pullen Jackson. This version was apparently recorded in the 1920s by the Carter family

Hope this is useful.

Cheers!
Ian
