Love the song, my mom had a bunch of old Leadbelly records I found as a kid so I heard this way before the Nirvana version (which I really like too). Anyway you did a great job capturing the feel of this, you should do more old folk songs, your voice is really great for them. Oh yea, you also make the best hot coco, I like the milk chocolate with little dissolving marshmallows the best!!!!
I have never heard this version before!! LOVED it. This is one of my FAVS!! Have to show this to my dad. We are bluegrass and this is quite a bit different.....I like it!!! Gonna have to change it up now! T:)
This one was made for you, Adelle. I heard Todd do it a while back and, intrigued, listened to a bunch of versions. Yours catches the song's dark mournfulness perfectly.
Awesome job Adelle! Love your take on this brilliant song. You really got a bluesy feeling here. One of your best I think and I've always been a sucker for braids (and bare necks I can sink my fangs into...).
I always thought Leadbelly wrote this - thanks for the historical background on the song, Adelle. Your version of this song is so good, YOU made me shiver, young lady, although not quite the whole night through.
Love the song, and love this version. Could you pretty pretty please post the chords?

Excellent! Your version seems to owe more to Nirvana Unplugged than Leadbelly, and against all the odds, you have a great voice for being Kurt!
