Hi,

I've been looking at this version, titled Little Margaret or Little Marget.

It seems like Betty Smith's version and subsequent versions with this title can be traced to Lunsford's version, which he learned in Madison Co, NC.

Here's Ramsey's: http://bluegrassmessengers.com/little-margaret--ramsey-nc-1957-recording.aspx

How many of teh dozen versions of this are traditional? Do they all go back to Lunsford?
