Date of song edit

Recorded 1927-29. But do we know when it was written? RJFJR (talk) 04:19, 18 February 2011 (UTC)Reply

Blind Alfred Reed's songs that document important events in his region were recorded within weeks or months of the incidents. In this case, Chris and Mary Lively were killed on September 2, 1927, and the song was recorded on December 19, 1927. cat yronwode, not logged in 75.101.104.17 (talk) 01:22, 24 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Added ref and de-stubbed edit

I added a ref giving background to the story, and de-stubbed it. cat yronwode, not logged in 75.101.104.17 (talk) 01:17, 24 July 2017 (UTC)Reply
