See the Wikipedia link below, it seems to have been in use in African American Vernacular English as early as the 1930s, though then mostly in the literal sense of 'awake', and more in its current sense as from the 1960s and 70s.

I don't think "woke" comes from that, though. You sound like you read Albion's Seed.

I was familiar with the lyric in the Lead Belly song because I love me some Delta blues.

Wait, so you hate the term 'woke' but you just accused yourself of cultural appropriation?
