Much better known than the above is the song collected for the Library of Congress and published in Lomax's Our Singing Country, p 4-5. I was surprised not to find this in the DT, did I miss it?

And a general appeal: anyone, please don't hesitate to add your favorite traditional song about Adam and Eve.

ADAM IN THE GARDEN PINNIN' LEAVES
Sung by Alberta Bradford age 72 and Becky Elsy age 86 in Avery Island LA, with verses added from McIlhenny's Befo' de War Spirituals, pub. Boston, Christopher Publishing House, 1933.

Cho:   Oh, Eve, where is Adam? (3x)
          Adam in the garden pinnin' leaves.

I know my God is a man of war,
Oh, Adam in the garden pinnin' leaves,
Yes, he fought that battle at Jericho walls,
Oh, Adam in the garden pinnin' leaves.

First time God called, Adam 'fused to answer,
Adam in the garden layin' low,
Second time God called, adam 'fused to answer,
Adam in the garden layin' low.

Next time God called, God hollered louder,
Adam in the garden pinnin' leaves,
Next time God called, God hollered louder,
Adam in the garden pinnin' leaves.

Alternate chorus:
You, Eve, can't see Adam,   (x3)
Adam 'hind the fig-tree pinnin' leaves.
