Wade Ford's singing of "Jinnie Jenkins" (rec. 1938) is online (Click here). Mr. and Mrs. F.C. Ball's version ("Jennie Jenkins", with the "color of turkle" line) is in Lomax and Lomax, Best Loved American Folk Songs [Folk Song: U.S.A.] (Grosset & Dunlop, 1947, pp. 54-55, with music; notes, p. 36); the Bascom Lamar Lunsford version ("Jennie Jenkins") is in W.K. McNeil, Southern Mountain Folksongs (August House, 1993, pp. 132-135, with music).
