Why truncated? The given source, Sam Henry's Songs of the People, has just these eight verses and they seem to have been faithfully reproduced here.
But several broadsides at Broadside Ballads Online indeed have ten verses.
Not really truncated - I found out later my computer got hung up on an ad. Still, we should research the song. -Joe-
