"East Virginia is a "traditional" folk song that dates back to the
1920's, most likely written by someone who lived in the "high
mountains" region of Kentucky or thereabouts. It's now in the public
domain and has been recorded by many, many "folks" over the years,
including Pete Seeger
and Joan Baez. It appears on the Anthology of American Folk Music and
on dozens of other recordings."
