I knew Joan O'Bryant and a guy who adopted the song after hearing her do it.....(in fact,*grin*..I once kissed Joan O'Bryant at a New Years party..)...and the song became quite popular in our 'local' group in Wichita in 1962-1964 or so....I believe you can still order a tape of anything on Folkways from the Smithsonian-Folkways catalogue...there is some amazing stuff buried there.
