A part of this song - titled "Robinson Crusoe" - was also collected by Mark Wilson from Jim Garland & Sarah Gunning, who were originally from Kentucky. This recording can be heard on the double Musical Traditions CD "Meeting's a Pleasure - volumes 3 & 4" (MTCD507-8). Mark calls it "a true curiosity" and adds that he had no idea how it came into the Garland family repertoire, although he does note that some of William Cowper's poems were set to hymn tunes and that this one could have been included in a shape-note hymnal.
