No image of record label available. Harry Smith's Anthology booklet assigns authorship to "A C Robertson", while victor.library.ucsb.edu credits "Eck Robertson". However, www.78discography.com does not assign authorship.
According to wikipedia, Alexander "Eck" Robertson died in 1975, which would put this composition in copyright until 1st January 2046.
However, Harry Smith's notes describe this track as a "medley of traditional tunes".
The Old Weird America blog states that the tunes are Wake Up Susan, Bill Cheatham, Little Billy Wilson and Drunken Billy Goat.
