There are folk songs that are derived from earlier popular songs written by a single
person. Angeline the Baker from Angelina Baker by Stephen Foster as an example.

Unless it goes through the process, then it remains an old popular song.

And if we know Stringsinger did the revision, it still ain't folk- gotta be done by anon.
