No image of record label available. [http://www.78discography.com/COL15000D.htm www.78discography.com] does not assign authorship, nor does either Anthology booklet.

The reissue anthology booklet, however, states that "Burnett remembered learning ‘Willie Moore’ from a printed ballad".

Lyle Lofgren states that, "The words were from a printed broadside (called a 'ballot' in the mountains), and the music is the fine part (the high part) of an old ballad tune that was floating around Kentucky." [http://www.lizlyle.lofgrens.org/RmOlSngs/RTOS-WillieMoore.html]

The Where Dead Voices Gather blog states that "'Willie Moore' is the first track on the Anthology to originate in the United States. Burnett later recalled having learned the song from a printed broadside in his native Kentucky. According to Smith's liner notes, a Mr. Paul Wilson of Farmington, Aarkansas reported meeting a Rev. William Moore in Dallas, Texas, who claimed to be the inspiration for the song (reported in Vance Randolph's Ozark Folk Songs, published in four volumes between 1946 and 1950 by the State Historical Society of Missouri). Little else is known about the origin of the song." [http://theanthologyofamericanfolkmusic.blogspot.co.uk/2009/11/willie-moore-burnett-and-rutherford.html]

The [http://library.efdss.org/cgi-bin/query.cgi?index_roud=on&fieldshow=multi&field_20=4816&op_10=notempty&op_9=and&start=14&output=Record&access=off Roud Folksong Index] classifies this song as a vesion of Roud 4816, although it lists no printed or recorded versions of this song which pre-date Barnett and Rutherford's recording.

Overall, there are reasonable grounds for treating this composition as '''public domain''', and there is no firm evidence yet to contradict this assumption.
