Subject: RE: Tune Req: Kindling Wood / Kindlin' Wood
North Carolina Folklore, vol. 3, Folk Songs From North Carolina, p. 375 (no. 324) it is noted that the version sung by Ware (posted above) was popular with glee clubs c. 1906-15.
Here is another version from North Carolina:
Version C
Her name is Ina
And she's from South Ca'lina
And she's splitting kindling wood to get along,
To get along, to get along,
And she's splitting kindling wood to get along.
Reported by Gertrude Allen (Mrs. Vaught). P. 376.
