Thank you so much!
I also am noticing a lot of variation between different versions of the song, whether in melody, lyrics, etc., even though the same song is found in so many different diverse locations... so interesting to hear.
When searching for the Young Man who Wouldn't Hoe Corn, I found a version by a band, the Georgia Mudcats--I can't help but wondering if there is any connection to this site? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WdkZlysuYTw
Another question or maybe not a question... it's very hard to make out words in the old recordings, though the melody and rhythm can more or less be heard... turn the volume way up and put my ear to the speaker? Or look elsewhere for people who've written them down?
