In the following two (very similar) versions, the narrator hauls coal, rather than wood:

1845, lyrics from Jeff Warner's cd, Jolly Tinker. No notes on the source here. It's not in the Anne & Frank Warner Collection, and I don't have the cd handy at the moment.

I was set googling this after hearing it (and vaguely recognizing it from Jeff Warner's rendition) on Rayna Gellert's new cd, Old Light, which is available here. Her text and tune is very similar to Jeff Warner's. The place names are Shippensport (same) and Louisville (similar to Jeff's Laurel Hill), with the addition of a "friends and neighbors"-"don't go telling stories" verse. There are no notes online as to where she got it. I don't have the cd, but heard it via Folk Alley (available free as a "First Listen" until October 25).

"Shippensport" or "Shippingport" is a former settlement near Louisville, Kentucky, near the falls of the Ohio, a place where it makes sense to be hauling coal rather than wood. The name comes up in relation to fiddle tunes, too. (There were other places by the "Shippensport" name in the 19th cent., such as on the Morris Canal in New Jersey, and there is a "Shippingport" northwest of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, and it seems to come up as an archaic form for "Shippingport".)
