- [Roud 3625; Ballad Index JRSF066; trad.] Cecil Sharp and Maud Karpeles collected Maria's Gone on 20 September 1917 from Hillard Smith in Hindman, Kentucky (where many of the Ritchies attended the settlement school) and published it in their English Folk Songs from the Southern Appalachians, Volume II, in the section Play-Party Games. Jean Ritchie included Morning Come, Maria Gone with quite different verses in her book Singing Family of the Cumberlands (Oxford University Press, 1955) and recorded it in 1971 for her LP Clear Waters Remembered.
