1953 - Comments
- Although this is the earliest recording of this song by Lunsford we can find, it seems he had been aware of the song for many years. "Little Marget (Sweet William)" is included in his folio of sheet music, "30 and 1 Folk Songs from the Southern Mountains", published in 1929. In the liner notes to his album "Pete Seeger Sings American Ballads", Pete Seeger says he learnt this song from Bascom Lamar Lunsford in 1935.
