Tremendous Stuff. Still have the LP bought for my 21st in 1957.
Saw Lonnie in Lichfield not long before he sadly passed away. He was taking requests in the Interval for the Second Half so I asked him to play this number. He replied "Christ, you must be old if you can remember that" !

Liked, favourited, listened to again immediately after. The next one on the Donegan playlist is 'My Old Man's a Dustman'. Go figure.

Plantation sugar cane was first harvested along the River Brazos by slaves. After Emancipation, plantation owners contracted prisons to supply convicts as a workforce. The majority were black. There were several prisons along the river, and cane cutting was fearful, killing work. My guess is that this is a work song from the days of slavery, which survived down through the convict era. Leadbelly served time in Texas prisons, including Sugarland, the cane heartland.

Ian Gillan..a fuckwit?
Jesus man.... if you can seriously say that then you know NOTHING about music...one of the best ever vocalists in rock in one of rocks' greatest bands, and an excellent songwriter too.
-
Good artist, but instead of listening to Ian Gillan, who's a fuckwit... give a listen to Smokey Hogg's 1951 "Penitentiary Blues" which is a much better take on this song

LISTEN TO IAN GILLAN,HE IS AWESOME TOO!!

Dylan, Joplin, hell, even the Chad Mitchell Trio did this song. Lonnie puts them all to bed with this version. Imagine working on the river, crushin' cane... Day in, day out. If you died, they just cut you off the chain - and kept movin' on. He crushes it with this song.

A beautiful heartfelt version, Donegan could move one when he chose, as well as make one laugh! Ian Gillan does a very good job with his own versions, hoever for me Donegan is Number1. Does anyone have Donegan's "Nobody's Child"? It is a true classic! It was up however I can noit seem to find it now! JSE.
