Thank you so much for posting this in tact without editing the "n" word out. That's how Leadbelly laid it down to us, and Ry was just paying honour in his tribute to Mr. Huddie~
Great song. Context - Leadbelly wrote this in 1937 when, having been invited to stay with the great folklorist Alan Lomax in Washington DC, Lomax' landlord refused to allow black people to stay in the apartment.
