Sorry for the sloppy post. I saw Skip James version on youtube but I couldn't get it to play. I know there are some African-American spiritual version on youtube.

There's also a hymn tune from Daniel O. Teasley in 1896 that looks like a spiritual.

I think Scaborough had a version titled: Oh, Be Ready When the Train Comes In.

I'll post some versions later. Anyone have anything on this?
