> Tom Paley used to do this song and you might find it on one of his albums. Personally I have never heard a bluegrass version and can't remember hearing anyone other than Peggy, Mike or Tom doing it.

FOD isn't on any of Tom's CDs that I have, but it could be on one that I don't have. It was one of his regular songs at Sharp's Folk Club (and probably elsewhere) in the last few years. As far as I can recall he had no explanation of what "FOD" meant (if anything!). I do have a recording of him at Sharp's that I made back in 1996, but it's one of many tapes still awaiting indexing, so I don't know whether he sang FOD back then.
