"Is there another, more complete text of her version available?"

The Library of Congress appears to have a recording from 1947, presumably not made by Maud Karpeles, who visited Ms Long three years later. I'm sure Richie will be along soon to tell us.

Richie, what are the six Hicks/Harmon/Presnell versions? I know about Jane Gentry, Maud Long, Lee Monroe Presnell and now Nora Hicks - I can't see any more transcriptions on this thread.
