We learned this traditional American song from the great musician Dillon Bustin. He learned  part of the song, when he was young, from a year-round fisherman on the White River in southern Indiana. Since then he picked up verses from travel logs and novels of the keelboat era. Shawneetown is an Ohio River town in southern Illinois, just a bit south of the Wabash River junction.
