The [http://theanthologyofamericanfolkmusic.blogspot.co.uk/2010/05/east-virginia-buell-kazee.html Where Dead Voices Gather] blog states that "there is evidence that 'East Virginia' might have evolved from a ballad," but does not say what that evidence is.

According to the [http://oldweirdamerica.wordpress.com/2011/11/09/58-east-virginia-by-buell-kazee/ Old Weird America] blog:

''“East Virginia”, like “The Cuckoo”, is a perennial folk song with complex roots. Some of the verses can be traced back to 17th century England, others are “floating” ones, which can be found in other folk songs like “Man of constant sorrow” or “The Drowsy Sleepers”. One of the earliest printed version comes from Cecil Sharp’s collection of folk songs from the Appalachian mountains. One of the fourth version he collected was sung by Judy Baker in Harlan County, Kentucky in 1917, under the name “In Old Virginny”''

It seems reasonable to treat this composition as '''public domain'''
