Just to add on to this discussion, there's another song called Star Girl in WNC that Bobby McMillon used to sing. He learned it from Ralph Ellison. It has been recorded by Jake Xerxes Fussell as well in recent years. The lyrics are below:

STAR GIRL

Come here, star girl, and listen to me
You's onced my constant lover
But now I’d freely give you up
For one whose heart's more truer

Well it's onced I would have married you
And took you to some mountain
Where the grass is green and the flowers bloom
Beside a lonely fountain

My heart is like the constant sun
From the east to the west, it ranges
But yours is like the moon above
It's every month, it changes

I dreamt last night of seein' you
How happy it was seeming
But when I awoke, and oh how sad
To think that I'd been dreaming

When I lie down to take my rest
It'll be no-one can wake me
I'll go straight away unto my grave
As fast as time can take me

Adieu, false heart, since we must part
May the joys of the world roll with you
And I loved you once with a faithful heart
But never anymore will I believe you
