Our Singing Country
AS I WENT A-WALKING ONE FINE SUMMER'S EVENING
/. No. 244.4. Mose Bellaire, Sec. 12, Baraga, Mich., 1938. Learned in the Canadian lumber woods twenty or more years ago. Also recorded in Vermont from a Yankee basketmaker, Jonathan Moses (No. 3703B2). See Lo.i, pp. 4 ff.

Chorus:
"For it's cOh, no, baby, lie easy,
For indeed your own daddy shall never be known,'
