We learned this song many years ago and we can't remember who we heard do it. Might have been Sam Hinton, maybe Faith Petric. When we got around to learning it we used a book for the words (how unfolky) and we could not fit the word Nacogdoches in no matter how hard we tried. So, we looked at a map and found there was a Frio River in Texas so we put that in. Good thing, too, since we have sung this song in many a Texas classroom without knowing that Nacogdoches was a made up river.
