Hi,

Thanks for correction Steve.

Lighter: I have a copy of that Fred High pamphlet (book :) To hear him sing it: http://digitalcollections.uark.edu/cdm/ref/collection/OzarkFolkSong/id/1393/

The title is an Ozark title first collected as "Willie Came over the Ocean" by Miss Hamilton, 1909, from Julia Rickman, one of her pupils in West Plains High School (see: Belden, Ballads and Songs, 1940 version B). That's Child 4, of course.
