Collected from women prisoners in the women's section of Parchman in Mississippi (I think I've got the right prison here; I'm too weary tonight to go hunt up the field recording or the Jeff & Jeff record to check on the notes). That would have been in the '30s. I read somewhere that they've done away with the women's section now, giving the women a prison of their very own. Caroline and I learned the song from Craig Johnson and the Double Decker String Band. Sandy
