American folklorist John Jacob Niles was visiting Murphy, North Carolina, in the summer of 1933 when he heard a young girl, Annie Morgan, sing a fragment of a haunting melody in the town square. Niles completed and published the song in 1934, it and quickly became a much-beloved Christmas carol worldwide. Watch Broadway star Michael Maliakel perform, accompanied by The Tabernacle Orchestra.
