The Lead Belly version is on S-F CD set "Lead Belly's Last Sessions". Well worth buying. There's also a Library of Congress version available on a Rounder CD called "The Titanic". This song became at some point a children's street song rather than a historical ballad and Pete Seeger sings a jolly version on "American Ballads", his best LP I think, from Folkways. Dr John
