% % This piece seems to be related to the familiar Short'nin' Bread, of which versions
% % (sometimes with words) occur, for example, in Lomax ABFS, p. 234; Krassen, p.15;
% % McDowell, p.77; Richardson, American Mountain Songs, p. 81 (and with this version,
% % compare the well-known Dandy Jim tune, our No. 326). Other related tunes, not
% % associated with the "Short'nin' Bread" words, are in Lomax OSC, p. 68; Thomas
% % and Leeder, The Singin' Gatherin', p. 60 (first part only); Bayard HCT, No. 10.
