Curiously Peggy Seeger's version has lyricsfouund in the 1863 Minstrel version I posted above. Where did her version originate?

The Three Ravens
Peggy Seeger, The Long Harvest, Record Seven, Argo (Z)DA 72 1975

There were three crows sat on yonder's tree
They're just as black as crows can be
One of them said to the mate:
What shall we do for grub to eat?

There's an old dead horse in yonder's lane
Whose body has been lately slain
We'll fly upon his old breast bone
And pluck his eyes out one by one

Old Satan tried to injure me
By cutting down my apple tree
He could not injure me at all
For I had apples all the fall
