DUNCAN AND BRADY DAVE VAN RONK TOM RUSH LEADBELLY.

[ragtimeD]

Interesting title. I guess you mean Van Ronk learned it from Leadbelly [and changed it] and Tom heard Van Ronk and changed it to this. I like all 3 but learned the van Ronk version for my 60's coffee house gigs. Back then I knew nothing of the racist story behind it.

Riding in that front rumble seat would be pretty scary!

Best job I've heard of singing this song a la Dave Van Ronk while avoiding the shoals of total rip-off. This performer (Tom Rush?) stays legal by turning in some fine work both vocally and on the humble stringed instrument we all know so well.
