When I was married we were both pretty abuse to each other, I been divorced for almost 5 Years. Been drinking ever since. At age 35 all this drinking and pill pippin did he’ll in my face, bad eating and chain smoking does help. I’m starting to look just like my bloated dad. All this drinking, pill poppin and smokes really fucked my face all to hell.
God bless BBC 6 music. I heard this a few days ago on a building site radio and let me tell you, everyone within earshot of that radio stopped working and listened. Never heard of Leadbelly before but rest assured, im listening now. Amazing piece of music.
You know, I have a friend with one of the original printings of this track. In it, Lead Belly says, "black girl," not, "my girl." Looks like the PC police did more amputation of history (thinking it somehow improves things). Pretty unwise.

Happy Birthday to the great Lead Belly!

I’m seeing many versions of the history of this song but isn’t he singing about the Pine Barrens in New Jersey?
