Hi all,

I spent quite a bit on time on Lord Randal and No. 12A Billie Boy.

My US versions of No. 13 Edward: http://bluegrassmessengers.com/us-and-canadian-versions-child-13-edward.aspx

Now I'm on 14. Babylon and am having trouble soting out "Burly Burly Banks of Barby-O". Peeger Seeger does a cover of it attributed to Jonathan Moses of Orford; New Hampshire, 1942. However the lyrics are identical to the version by Elmer Barton of Quechee, Vermont; Collected in 1942 by M. Olney; From Ballads Migrant in New England.


Jonathan Moses are different at the end according to the text from from Dad's Dinner Pail and Other Songs From the Helen Hartness Flanders Collection by Debra Cowan.

Is Seeger mistaken about the source? Does anyone have Jonathan Moses text printed in a book (i.e. not on-line)?

Here are the texts compared- I can post if that's easier:
