After all this time I recall where I got this. Allan Lomax got this from Alec Moore, " was a crippled up, retired cowboy who sold ice-cream for his living on the streets of Austin Texas". I got this from a recording 'Texas Folksongs sung by Alan Lomax' on Tradition Records (TLP)#1029 1958. Looking at the jacket now, what a great collection of songs on it. From that recording I also learnt "Long Summer Days", "Ain't No More Cane On This Brazos", "Wild Rippling Waters", "Sam Bass" & "Eadie". Playing the large, funny looking, 2 sided CD type of thing on an old playing machine that's got some sort of arm with a needle on it's end & it's supported over a circlular disk where this CD kind of thing sits on.

I've still never found more words than what I posted above. If there's more I love to hear them but it could be complete as it stands?

Thanks to all of you who've posted to this over the past 8 years.
