Thanks all,

I am indeed looking for other related or possibly related stuff, and I did check the database first, and have heard a couple of recordings that don't vary that much. Often I hear it as a fiddle tune with no lyrics.

Thanks, Joe, for the notes from the songbook and all the information.

Sure it's a nonsense song, but the underlying story about a slave whose wife/lover/whatever is sold away and the hints the song contains about the woman Angelina has fascinated a songwriter pal and she has written a couple of extra verses and is looking for more to the story if it can be found.
