Talked with you today up in the Hill. You're an inspiration!

Tossi and Leon played in a folk group, called "The Rounders" with my Dad, Barry Schwartz, before I was born. They got together often and I listened to them many times and played along on the washboard when I was very young.

I got the song in the mid-1950s from the Lomaxes' 1934 American Ballads andFolk Songs (not Our Singing Country as I first remembered). It's on p. 196.Apparently I was the first to pick it up and sing it, though it had lainaround unnoticed in that well-known collection for twenty years. Peace's guess is right on the money. The Lomax headnote says "An eighteen-year-old black girl, in prison for murder, sang the tune and the firststanza of these blues." The Lomaxes added a number of "floating verses" fromother, uncredited sources, and named it "Woman Blue." Bob

Tossi Aaron was my guitar teacher when I was a teenager. She taught me this song and many others. She was a wonderful teacher and great singer and guitar player. I think of her very often. 

Bill Wadlinger

Yes. Tossi is well and goes folk dancing (as she did back inthe days wehne she recorded her albums) every week.

What a great song! From what i heard the orginal was written by an eighteen-year old black girl, in prison for murder. This is the earliest recorded version out there. Thanks for the upload!

Is she still alive?

Agreed. I have only ever managed to find two songs from this singer, and I imagine this album is very rare and collectable. Check out the Joan Baez recording as well.
