Yazoo 2013 'Music of Kentucky Vol I', mentioned above by Q, has no information about its provenance, nor has the Document 'Kentucky Gospel' album. Surprisingly, Meade has no entry for this song even though 8 of Karnes' recordings have entries. Of the 8 Karnes recordings referenced, none has compositional attributions to Karnes except 'Days of my childhood plays' which Meade suggests may 'possibly' have been composed by him. Tony Russell gives no composer information in his short piece titled 'The Recordings of A.G. Karnes' in 'Old Time Music #7', but he does mention an extensive article on Karnes by Donald Lee Nelson in JEMF Quarterly Vol VIII, No 25, Spring 1972. Does anyone have access to this?
