Announcement by Jean Thomas follows the song. Credits Vincent Caldwell, originally from Harlan Co., with the composition. (A similar version of this piece was recorded by Mary Barnicle at the Church of Ten Elders in Pineville, Ky., 1938, with the refrain "There's no man who does it like Jesus." [See AFS 1965A.]?¨ Whether it was a derivation of Caldwell's composition or a local variant on which Caldwell based his own is unknown.)
