She was an American treasure....

Wow!! She was incredible. Anybody who would down vote this is a pretentious douchebag.

I've been hearin' this song my whole life. I've known of Elizabeth Cotten and seen many videos on here on YouTube. However, this particular video and performance brought tears to my eyes. If I remember just a few videos/performances, this will always be one of 'em.

I've played this on guitar for many years and don't remember where I learned it or who wrote it until today. I'm amazed at this fact: she's left handed and playing a guitar strung for a right handed player -- like Jimi Hendrix did later --- upside down and backwards.

Thank you Elizabeth Cotten. Your contribution to music will never be forgotten.

Jeremy Horne

Thank gawd someone had the foresight to record this historical piece and most fantastic folk guitarist. It surely brought tears to my eyes. Thanks ever so much for posting.

Katherine Christ-Janer

The power of music. Don't care who you are, colour, or where you're from - when it comes to music. Love this lady.

Hi from New Zealand,The amazing thing about this women and the way she played the guitar and banjo.Is that she was left handed, but both the guitar and banjo are strung right handed.So she virtually, just played a right hand guitar and banjo upside down.That is very hard to do. I'm left handed, but I string the guitar with bass E string from top to treble E string to bottom. Jimmy Hendrix's did the same too.I have two friends who play right handed guitars upside down. NOT EASY!Moreover, I often wonder if she ever was paid the rewards, her song deserved.Her contribution folk music will never be forgotten. Excellent video clip.Elizabeth R.I.P.

I learned of this wonderful lady from Taj Mahal's intro to his version of her classic song. He truly expressed our love for her when he exclaimed "we love you Elizabeth; we love you Elizabeth."

Victor Wadsworth

Just got a signed album of her's off Ebay for a little more than a $100.00. What a testament to American Folk Music, she left some huge footsteps.....

What an inspiring lady. I have struggled to learn to play guitar all my life without much success, and watching this today motivates me to keep trying to master the instrument!!
