The A.P. Carter version has different lyrics from the version often credited to Bowles and Hoyle. Stanley Brothers recordings use the A.P. Carter lyrics, even though the credit on the release is sometimes to Bowles and Hoyle.

Elvis and B.B. King do not use the Carter version. Credit is either [traditional] or Bowles and Hoyle on different releases.
