According to Living Documents in American History from Earliest Colonial Times
to the Civil War, edited by John A Scott, (Trident Press 1963), this beautiful
song was collected by Alan Lomax, who learned it from his mother, who took it
from North Carolina to Texas after the Civil War.
This simple, lovely version is by Odetta Holmes,(December 31, 1930 – December
2, 2008).
