I see that I missed the opportunity to have Jean Ritchie sing this to me. I'm sorry I missed her invitation to call. I hope she's soon in good enough health to be able to sing it.
Jim Dixon linked to one field recording (Oh, I found it before Jim did). Are there other field recordings available online, or can anybody direct me to notation? I really think we ought to be able to find and post notation for this song. If somebody can send me a MIDI, I'd be glad to post it.
I did find a MIDI at Kididdles. Is it right?

Here's my adaptation of the tune posted at Kididdles. Does it sound right?
