This version is different than the copy I have. I have read that Leadbelly never played his songs the same twice. He liked to mix it up a bit. But this is the most popular rendition of the lyrics for this song. It seems that my CD version is the one that is unusual. The lyrics on this page represent what I have found for this song on every search I have done.
