I will post it as soon as I have a chance to transcribe it, Q. I've been listening to it my car for the past week.

Thanks to you and Joe for the additional info!

The singer I have it from learned his songs in the lumbercamps along the NY/PA border in the 1880's - 1910's, and the melody is indeed striking. The story sounds a bit mystical in his version, which is only maybe 5-6 verses long. He omits just enough of the story (through attrition as opposed to intentially, I would think) to be very intriguing.

Text coming soon.....
