I have just listened to the Texas Gladden recording on Spotify. And Texas Gladden, I was surprised to find, is a woman. The album is called "Portraits: Texas Gladden, 'Ballad Legacy'- the Alan Lomax Collection" (Rounder Records, 2001).
She sings this song a cappella. On the first chorus, she sings "And I see" 3 times; on each subsequent chorus, she sings it twice.The words are exactly as posted by Reinhard.
