Great song - sung very well. A friend Kevin Beggan used to sing this in our band. He really used to put passion into it. Wish he's still sing - alas a stroke renders that a long shot.

But I really enjoy this version - Thanks.

@pfiddle Thanks for the kind words. I am glad the song brings back good memories.

Well done! I grew up hearing these tunes. You did the original justice. Thanks

[TracyFClark]

@johnbubbanewsdude Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

[TracyFClark]

@johnbubbanewsdude Thanks for your comments and listening!

Good, but don't think that's Woodie.

@brantlymurphy225 It's not Woody it's me the owner of the channel covering the tune. Thanks for listening though!

I've been doing a lot of research on PBF lately. My great grandpa, from Kansas City, Missouri looked so much like Pretty Boy Floyd that he was caught up in his car in the middle of a four way intersection by the police all armed with machine guns. He had to get out with his hands up trying to explain that he was not Pretty Boy Floyd. Scary but cool story in my family.

Excellent recording! It's a nice tune, and this doesn't sound scratchy like the actual woody Guthrie versions I found.

Most respectable cover! One of the classic Woody tunes.

Your machine kills Fascists, too, right?
