[edit] Other versions:

Link Wray performed an altered version called, I believe, "Georgia Pines," in the 1970's for his Polydor records. It has been collected in the "Polydor Years" collection.

Additionally, in folk terms the song goes back to a generalized "dead girl singing" tradition, where ghosts turn out to be in dialog with the singer, and that's a basic component of the ballad. Geogre 15:29, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Folk artist Dave Van Ronk recorded a version of this song called "In the Pines" which can be found on his album Folkway Years (1959-1961) (my personal favorite rendition..) DavidKelly999 09:07, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] It's Lead Belly

Everybody: it's "Lead Belly", not "Leadbelly". See the discusion. -- Face 10:47, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Nirvana???

Does anyone else find it a little strange that they talk about this songs rich history as a folk song and all the talanted musicians who have recorded it or played it, but Nirvana is the band that has the information at the bottom? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.94.2.162 (talk) 21:05, 18 March 2007 (UTC).
