Leadbelly's tune here, and I only sang 3 of about 7 verses. It's entirely real-time (one 12-string, one vocal, one foot) plus some postproduction effects added) except I needed to double the vocal toward the end, as it was not quite audible as is. No other overdubs.

  • Well Huddie Ledbetter

    He was a mighty fine man

    He taught me this song

    And to the whole wide land

    But now he's done with all his grieving

    Jumpin', hollerin' and a-cryin'

    Done with all his studyin'

    About his great long time.

  • Yep, those are St. Pete's lyrics. Well, he ain't a saint yet anyway, so let's give him the Nobel and declare him National Treasure while we still can.
