I found an abbreviated version of LOP in "Folk songs Out of Wisconsin" by Harry Peters. The notes say that it was sung by Mrs. Fances Perry of Black River Falls in 1946. Mrs. Perry said that the song came from the mountain people of Georgia. The tune included is not the usual one and sounds sort of familiar to me, but I am unable to place it. The claim of a Georgia origin is interesting since most of the collected versions seem to come from up north.
