Three for "Old Shoes and Leggings", Jerry. True-love still sings it and also "Henry Lee". Here's what he sings about the "golden cage":

learned the song from Art Rosenbaum, who owned a copy of the 78:
"fly down fly down little bird she cried
fly down to my right knee.
your cage shall be of the beaten gold,
adorned all silvery."

How does that compare with what you all hear? Joy
