I have a 78 album "Early American Folk Songs" recorded by Bob Atcher for Columbia, undated but apparently from before 1949 when Columbia reissued it on vinyl. Sides in addition to Methodist Pie are Barbary Allen, Old Smoky, Devilish Mary, De Ladies Man, Hunters of Kentucky and Young Rogers the Miller with one of my favorite lines "I think you're the young man with long yellow hair who once came a-courting my father's gray mare". No help on the liner notes, however, with the recipe for Methodist Pie.
