Molly O'Day's 1949 recording of the song appears on a 1990 Old Homestead
"limited collectors edition" LP (!), In Memory.  Old Homestead's has been
putting some of its albums to CD in the last few years; this may now or in
the future be among them.

Dian, I have this on these Molly O'Day LPs:

12 Sacred Songs                 Rem LP-1001     n.d.    lp
Living Legend Of Country Music  Pine Mountain PMR-267   n.d.    lp
In Memory: Great Early Recordings       Old Homestead OHS-196   1990    lp
Sacred Collection                       Old Homestead OHCS-101  1975    lp
Soul Of Molly O'Day Volume I    Old Homestead OHCS-312  1984    lp

If no one hand-delivers the lyrics to you in satisfactory order, I'll try
to transcribe them for you.
Albert Hash did a version as well on "Cacklin' Hen" (Mountain 313).

This was also recorded by Jim and Jesse and The Virginia Trio, which may be
a more accessible version.

If you don't get an answer before tomorrow (first chance
I'll get to check since I'm at work and am going to
see Laurie Lewis tonight), I'll check the Bear Family
Molly O'Day set to see if it's there.
