Thread Name: Go and Dig My Grave: Recordings/Artists?
Subject: RE: Go and Dig My Grave: Recordings/Artists?
The AFS and AAFS entries are from the Archive of Folk Song at the Library of Congress. The Lomax CD is Deep River of Song: Bahamas 1935. J's transcription above is very similar to the Bahamas recording, except that they're bound for the heavenly something-or-other.

The Pete Seeger recording is a Folkways LP called The Pete Seeger Sampler. There's a song called "Go and Dig My Grave" on the CD titled Jean Ritchie and Doc Watson at Folk City, but it's an entiredly different song (Jean Ritchie and Doc Watson? - now there's a concert I'd like to attend.)
The only songbook entry shown here is from Silber & Silber, Folksinger's Word Book.

I guess only recording listed above that is readily available on CD is the Deep River of Song recording.
Which Bok, Muir, Trickett recording is it on?
