Explanatory liner notes by record label ANTI-:
An early American folk ballad which tells of a young woman's desperate search for her timber raftsman lover on the Wisconsin river. She takes to a raft herself to find him, but alas, he has drowned. This is the American version of an older British song, A Sailor's Life [known by Fairport Convention].
