−	[[File:Anthology Track 20 label.jpg \|thumb\| \|left\|]]	+	[[File:Anthology Track 20 label.jpg \|thumb\| \|left\|]] Record label does not assign authorship. Nor does either Anthology booklet. However, [http://www.78discography.com/COL15000D.htm www.78discography.com] assigns authorship to "Charlie Poole".
		+
		+
		+	According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charlie_Poole wikipedia], Charlie Poole died in 1931, which if the assignation of authorship given by www.78discography is correct would mean that this composition has been '''public domain''' since '''1st January 2002'''.
		+
		+
		+	The [http://library.efdss.org/cgi-bin/query.cgi?index_roud=on&fieldshow=multi&op_10=notempty&field_9=white%20house%20blues&op_9=precise&start=4&output=Record&access=off Roud Folk Song Index] classifies this song as a version of Roud 787. A Roud number search returns only [http://library.efdss.org/cgi-bin/query.cgi?index_roud=on&fieldshow=multi&field_20=787&op_10=notempty&op_9=precise&start=14&output=Record&access=off one version] (from the previous year) which predates Poole's recording.
		+
		+
		+	According to the [http://theanthologyofamericanfolkmusic.blogspot.co.uk/2009/12/white-house-blues-charlie-poole-with.html Where Dead Voices Gather] blog:
		+
		+	''"White House Blues" provides a model for the way in which a topical song is often made up of the elements of other songs. The folk songs "Delia," "That Crazy War," "The Cannonball (Solid Gone)," "Cannonball Blues," "Battleship of Maine," and "Pig in a Pen" have all been cited as sources for or near relatives of "White House Blues." Following the assassination of William McKinley in 1901, some enterprising songster borrowed elements from one or more songs to compose a topical song that captured the spirit of the moment. The song itself is quite irreverent. Most farmers and other country folk had supported McKinley's opponent William Jennings Bryan in 1896 (and again in 1900) and were not terribly saddened by McKinley's passing.''
		+
		+
		+	According to the [http://oldweirdamerica.wordpress.com/2009/04/12/20-white-house-blues-by-charlie-poole-the-north-carolina-ramblers/ Old Weird America] blog:
		+
		+	''It seems that the ballad originated with afro-americans “songsters” and, like “Stackalee”, was a kind of proto-Blues with a melody and a verse structure very alike another murder Blues ballad, “Delia’s gone”. In fact, all this songs, Delia, White House Blues, The Cannon Ball, Railroad Bill, even Stackalee and Frankie had very similar melodies in their primary forms, as they entered the oral tradition at the same time, the turn of the century and were all associated with black singers. Later, white musicians began to take those songs in their repertoire, like White House Blues, who became, thanks to Bill Monroe, a bluegrass standard.''
		+
		+
		+	There are very good grounds for treating this composition as '''public domain'''.
