The following additions were made by Miss Fannie Stewart, Shelby Tp.
:Wheel and turn, the Old Brass Wagon,: 3 times You're the one, my darling.

c. Miss Hamilton (Missouri Play-Party. Jour. Am. Folk-lore, vol. XXVII, pp. 298 and 302) gives the majority of these stanzas and several others.
Mrs. Ames (Jour. Am. Folk-lore, vol. XXIV, p. 307) gives words that are very similar but the tune is different from that in Indiana.
Mr. Edwin F. Piper (Jour. Am. Folk-lore, vol. XXVIII, p. 282) prints a version of "Old Brass Wagon" with a quite different tune. |
