Our fellow Mudcatter Art Thieme has this on his recent Waterbug CD "The Older I Get, The Better I Was". I've been waiting for Art to answer this, but I'll give you the liner nots from his CD..."The Master of the Sheepfold" Eventuall, if we search long and hard enough, we will find that there is an author/composer for just about every song sung! I(Art), learned this song from Jerry Epstein at New York Pinewoods folk camp in Plymouth, Ma. in August of 1982. Jerry told me that it had been collected in Maine by Bill Bonyun years earlier. It had been brought to Pinewoods Camp by Susan Richardson. I was the first one to record the song. I did that on my second Folk Legacy LP and cassette (still available) Art Thieme - On The Wilderness Road (FSI-105)
