GUEST,Eleanor | Origins: Poor Old Woman/Housewife's Lament (35) | RE: Origins: Poor Old Woman/Housewife's Lament | 11 Nov 15 |
I found this book in the Independent Woman's Songbook, published I think in the 1970s, with the same story about it being found in the diary of a housewife who had lost her sons in the American Civil War - don't know where they got it from, and I'm afraid I don't have the book any more to check for more details. |
