I still can't find anyone who knows the words to "Last Night as I Lay Dreaming" (not Spancil Hill). I don't think it's the kind of song Joan Baez would have sung. I'm pretty sure it is 19th century. It may be as old as the Spancil Hill words. I'm pretty sure the tunes are the same. The tune may have come form an earlier song. Does any one know of another internet venue where I might try such a question, maybe one that emphasizes gospel songs? This is not really a gospel song, but some people might think it is because of the gospel song choruses at the end of each verse. - Philip Hudson
