This is just a lovely cover.

Johnny Flynn's new album has an interpretation of this song. Not a cover, mind you, just a personal response to the sometimes inaudible words of an old 78. It's also rather lovely, though I would recommend the solo version. Much more delicate.

Good work.

@HerTeaLeaves33 - thanks!  Is Johnny Flynn really working from Taggart's recording? I'd like to hear it!

[barryalanwalker]

nice. I recently undertook the exercise of trying to transcribe the words to this song. I also challenged my parents, who grew up in Alabama. There's some totally unintelligible stuff in there. After a couple of weeks with a few lines still not settled, I gave in and did the search, saw the thread from a couple years ago, it led me here. I enjoy your version.  thanks.

@barryalanwalker - thanks for watching and I'm glad you liked it.

Great cover of a great song! I would never have thought of doing this, but you guys do it justice!

[frankie12string]

thanks! we're always good for a hare-brained cover.

Excellent version - made me think of doing a cover myself, but I don't think I'd get away with the line "Some say that John the baptist was nothing but a jew...".

Sounds a bit too much like Eric Cartman...
