Here's a note from Dick Greenhaus from the Digital Tradition version of this song:
Note: Published in London, 1910. This is the original. The more common
version (Doc Watson from Vernon Dahlhart) is a rewrite. I'm not sure, but I believe the more popular tune is also the tune for this one. RG

Can anybody come up with the Watson/Dahlhart Lyrics?
