wow, that's a new one for me! No idea that was a cover. I wonder if the original is as angular as their cover is - indeed, if it is it might explain its weird bar lengths and mood shifts.

You can find versions of Lomax's recordings in Youtube as well as Leadbelly's version. They're slower paced, but very good. Since you're a music major, you might like this. There's a group that's digitizing Lomax's non-Library of Congress recordings and putting them online.
