 * Comment: The song appears to be a historic song sung and brought by Afro-American slaves (as one source I found states) upon coming to America. This is one of those times where its borderline for me since it was also on a music CD and I'm sure there is a history here that might only be in dead trees.  Sy  n 22:21, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete. Non-notable song. Niteshift36 (talk) 07:31, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. This book shows that this song was notable enough to have been recorded by at least three different groups before 1940, a time when making any recording was a big deal, and, according to this book, it was a well-known playsong. Phil Bridger (talk) 21:57, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
