in this song it mentions "mr coffin". i live on part of what used to be his plantation

[Blinkymyt]

Great rendition...and if you don't think this may become our National Anthem for Wall Street...come visit my featured channel offering. Cordially, John

[dr400motard]

Great song accompanied by a great cover

[canajian]

Thank you kindly..

[BarnacleBillsBastard]

Man, I was trying to find this song. Haven't heard it since I was a kid ( & we learned all these folk songs in school). Who originally did this? By the way, Awesome Hank poster in the background!

[canajian]

It`s a traditional folk song .

The melody is much older and used in other songs,

Also known as "Pay Me" or "Pay Me, You Owe Me", it was performed by The Weavers during their influential 1955 Carnegie Hall concerts. It was further popularized by The Kingston Trio in 1958.

[BarnacleBillsBastard]

Thanx for the info :)

[willythewave]

Thats one freakin AWISOME cover!!!
