I disagree, thinking people do deserve him. It don't matter how mean and nasty people can be. They still deserve salvation to me. And on that note, if you haven't heard Steve Earle's 'Christmas Time in Washington,' you ought to type that in the ol' youtube line to check it out. It think you'd like it.
Man, from this album cover it looks like Sean Penn should play Woody Guthrie in a film. Prolly just this particular photo. Many thanks to whoever posted this song. Such a treasure, and great to be able to listen to it.
Woody is more than good, In the days of strict segregation, he played with Lead Belly, Sonny Terry , Brownie McGhee. Those things just werent done by white performers in polite society, Woody didnt give a damn about polite society. While working on a troop ship, he was playing for the troops when he heard voices from the front hold, he asked, Why arent we playing down there?
Well, those are colored troops, and there might be trouble, .
ahh thanks!!! that saved me! this is my favorite song! especially the one with a banjo in it. i learned it and was just gonna change the lyrics, but now i know... that was actually me on someone elses name. cause i was ashamed to ask! lol thanks.. RIP WOODY GUTHRIE
@emmamakhno Very often, blues and folk artists would cover traditional songs without changing the gender round. The White Stripes version of Jolene continues this tradition.
I was gonna write a song about loving someone you will never have. Woody took the words out of my mouth before i could.
