Some people might not like this version and like the CCR; but some people also might not like the CCR and like this version. I do think it's as simple as that.
I love ABBA but this is terrible. I love CCR's version the best. This is the first time i've listened to the ABBA version and i got a headache and ABBA should never give you a sore head because they are brilliant otherwise. I love lead belly's life story and the fact he wrote so many great songs like midnight special. I love what CCR did to the song xxxxx :):)
Have to agree, as an avid ABBA fan, they sure glamoured up this song to a level that just isn't right. Others sure have done the same to good old blues songs but ABBA really never needed to do this.
I absolutely <3 this.. can't stop listening to it!

Nice try ABBA. I'm sure you meant well, but your version of this song just doesn't work very well.

Leadbelly didn't write this song, he borrowed from the folk tradition

No offense Abba, but for Lead Belly's sake let's please erase this atrocity from history forever. Just pretend it never happened.

Hey longliverock94, there were so many so-called "rock songs" and "rock bands" that suck one could list thousands of them.
I agree this is not one of Abba's better songs, though.
