I stumbled coming out of the gate, but recovered to sing what was a prison song made famous by Huddie Ledbetter, a bluesman "discovered" at Louisiana State Penitentiary in July 1933 by folklorist John Lomax. After his release from prison, "Leadbelly" would make music his career until his death in 1949. The song was later popularized by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Played in G on a National Triolian.

Now we're talkin. Huddie is an American icon. I am a huge fan of the old Blues men. I couldn't tell you how many times I have listened to Huddies, among many others, music. You done a very nice job with this. If anyone would like to read an interesting story go to wikapedia an look up Leadbelly or any of his counterparts.

I have always liked this song and your playing and singing style captures the feeling of the original very well.
