wow! what a song. In my younger years I would disappear to Mexico. I would travel in the old busses and trains to be near the people. When I would be coming back to El Norte my travel companions would tell me stories about crossing the border, hiding from La Migra so they could find work and support the family. They risk their lives to come here and do jobs that nobody wants. They would offer me food and laugh at my stupid jokes, such spirit and soul. thnx for the song.
Great performance.I have checked out a lot of other versions on YouTube, but your vesion is my favorite number one! To be honest, it is far beyond any others. Thanks!
This is a heartbreaking song. It's a disgrace to realize that it's truer than ever today, all these many years after Woody Guthrie penned the lyrics. Beautiful version, alonzo...thank you.
Fantastic. I like your voice and the way youre playing.
I seen all your "performance" on Youtube. I loved it.
Thanks!!

Thing about Woody's songs... They're just as true today as they were when they were made.

Many thanks. If you can, listen to Barbara Dane's funky-bluesy version from 1963.
