I've never felt more hopeful or this world, when playing this song in a midwest town, or on a Catholic college campus, and each time getting loud laughs, smiles, clapping and singing along, and the audience learning he chorus in short order.
@CrawdaddyJoe Right on Man...I swear I currently live just south of Hattiesburg, Mississippi, and I play this tune as a "standard," (with the alteration found on the 1987 "Rebel Voices: Songs of the Industrial Workers of the World" Live album, which leaves out the same one as this song (the Give your $...Jesus...say/He will...diseases today) and changes the 3rd's opening 2 "If you work hard for family and spouse/(&)Try2make a downpayment on your house"(oops to be continued)...
@CrawdaddyJoe (the conclusion) I think this is really such a great quality song (Hill's Best?) that ppl, even if played from a notch-hole of Mississippi's Bible Belt; still I worried.
*Imagine my surprise, and absolute jubilation to learn 1st-hand that the people sung about by Dylan's "Pawn in their Game/Ballad of Emmitt Till" and Phil Och's State of Miss. songs is the largely the exact opposite of such..People really seemed 2 dig this song, & I'm sure they know all the words.Hope isn't dead yet
@18thDailEireann Sean Agus Sonat, my fine Fenian friend!...Are you living in the land of mourning glory right now? I'd be curious to hear a perspective from the ground, as I follow the current affairs of Eireann @ least a day/week, & keep up with the swells a-brewin' in the dead carcass of the Celtic Tiger, not to mention the Republican movement & Rep. Sinn Fein (the "SIR G. Adams ...Pog Mo Thoin Club!) A fan of Socialist Dail member Joe Higgens? I think he offers hope.,Saoirse Go Deo! take care
That it is. I found this on another site whitch nowdays don't exist anymore. I don't know the performer, so is there annyone who knows, please tell me!
Thumbs up if you were brought here by Pynchon :)

Why did they skipped:
«Holy Rollers and Jumpers come out
And they holler, they jump and they shout
Give your money to Jesus, they say,
He will cure all diseases today »

Pretty good, but my favorite version is still by Anne Feeney with Commander Cody.

Sung to the tune of "I'll fly away" a Christian hymn.
When I die and my life is over I'll rot away.
6 feet down underneath the clover I'll rot away.
I'll rot away how gory,I'll rot away.
When I die I won't go in the sky
I'll just rot away!
