Woody Guthrie All You Fascists Bound To Lose

3. the back story ...

I was mentioning something to my partner that happened 50 plus years ago on the farm. Two of our neighbors from the adjacent farm were in our kitchen. The lived without running water or electricity, They had an old horse and a lame mule that pulled a cart when they wanted supplies. Some one was playing that song from the Dead and Jimmy hops up and says I know that song and grabs a guitar with great gusto and sang a different version of Goin' down the road feeling bad. I was looking for an earlier version and that's why I was listening to Woody, but it is not his song. It was a traditional American folk song of uncertain origin.
