The song is thought to have spread from the islands to other Southern states and the North, as well as other places in the world. The first known recording, of someone known only as H.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">English Americans</span> Americans of English birth or descent

English Americans are Americans whose ancestry originates wholly or partly in England. In the 2020 United States census, English Americans were the largest group in the United States with 46.5 million Americans self-identifying as having some English origins representing (19.8%) of the White American population. This includes 25,536,410 (12.5%) who were "English alone". Despite being the largest self-identified ancestral origin in the United States, demographers still regard the number of English Americans as an undercount. As the majority of English Americans are the descendants of settlers who first arrived during the English Colonial period which began over 400 years ago, many Americans are either unaware of this heritage or choose to elect a more recent known ancestral group even if English is their primary ancestry.
