Citation and link to the Lomax recording. The title of the song is "Shoot the Cat" the recording below also has "Root Hog or Die". Which seems to have eluded my "collection" until now.
Thrasher, E. & Lomax, A. (1938) Shoot the Cat; Root, Hog, or Die.
Round Lake, MI and Mackinac County, MI, September 8. [Audio]
