Editor Note
Composed by Susan Shepherd (identified as Mrs. D.L. Shepherd on AFS card). Accompanied by six-year-old Betty Sue Shepherd, who is misidentified as "Sallie Belle Shepherd" on AFS card. Lomax refers to Susan Shepherd in his "Field Trips: Eastern Kentucky" report to the Librarian of Congress, saying that she "told us that all of her songs?ballads about floods, accidents and premature deaths that had sent the unconverted to Hell?were communicated to her in her dreams."
