Hi,

I've been trying to straighten out my web-site since I threw a bunch of info on the songs but never proofed it or carefully researched it.

Here's what I have on "Gwine Dig a Hole":

As far as I can tell Leadbelly recorded three versions two titled "Fidler's Dram"- one accidentally titled Fiddler's Dream- haha

The lyrics are in my 1936 Lomax book but they are different slightly,
