Just what I was thinking, paddymac. In fact, while you were posting, I was looking at the Folk Music Index to see what they had listed. Here is their list, but do note that quite a few of the albums are not available at all anymore, though some CDs have been issued, as is the case with the Maura O'Connell version:

1.Baez, Joan. Very Early Joan, Vanguard VSD 79446/7, LP (1982), cut#A.06

2.Beers Family. Golden Skein, Biograph BLP-12054, LP (1972), cut# 1

3.Beers Family. Introducing the Beers Family, Columbia MS-6705, LP (196?), cut#A.07

4.Beers, Robert. Art of the Psaltery, Prestige International INT 13028, LP (196?), cut# 8

5.Davies, Bruce. Wi' Lichtsome He'rt, Rothes RR 007, CD (1997), cut# 3

6.Hester, Carolyn. Caroline Hester, Tradition TLP 1043, LP (1961), cut#A.02

7.Hinton, Sam. Wandering Folk Song, Folkways FA 2401, LP (1967), cut# 4

8.Killen, Lou and Sally. Bright Shining Morning, Front Hall FHR 006, LP (1975), cut#B.02

9.MacNeil, Madeline. Madeline MacNeil Sings Patchwork, Skyline DD-103, LP (197?), cut# 8

10.New Seekers. New Seekers, Capitol T 2319, LP (196?), A.03

11.O'Connell, Maura. Just in Time, Philo 1124, LP (1988), cut# 6

12.Riddle, Almeda. Granny Riddle's Songs and Ballads, Minstrel JS-203, LP (1977), cut#B.05

Just a couple of notes: for whatever reason, that album by the Seekers was listed in the US as being by the NEW Seekers, creating a bit of confusion with the later group. Almeda Riddle was a noted folksinger from nearby Heber Springs, Arkansas.
