Some music history
This was one of their big hits and a popular melody in its own right:
and that was a cover of Leadbelly's
Woody Guthrie's version:
Linda's cover of Woody's version
I don't know how anyone else feels about it but Linda took that song and turned it into magic.

If I recall correctly, on the album "Simple Dreams"-- Fred Hellerman is credited as the writer of "I Never Will Marry"---

I have seen it credited to AP Carter too (from the Carter family).
Remember this funny skit using that song? |

I thought the song was in the public domain, so Linda could have just done her own arrangement and taken songwriting credit. But my thoughts could be wrong.
