NOTES [47 words]: Although Lomax/Lomax-OurSingingCountry does not say that informant Jesse Stafford wrote this, I rather suspect he did; it's hard to believe that such a shallow tale of a man who seems to do most of his thinking with something other than his brain could last long in tradition. - RBW
