Yes, the written-by credits for Babes in Toyland are mangled that badly on the release.
I didn't scan all 40+ pages of the booklet. The web page for the release is here:
http://www.folkways.si.edu/the-mississippi-river-of-song-a-musical-journey-down-the-mississippi/american-folk-american-indian-blues-cajun/music/album/smithsonian
They have a PDF scan of the booklet, which can also be accessed here:
