A traditional from Woody's series of recordings for Mose Asch. Notice how the harmonica is only in the right key on one of the chord changes*. One of many things to appreciate in this rendition.

Also, I have a friend who says she loves Woody's songs but thinks his singing is awful. I tell her that she is entitled to being incorrect.

*Though maybe I have tin ears.

Yeah. My initial reaction to the statement that he was a liberal is first of all, "Well, actually he was more of a socialist," and second of all, "Who cares? He's Woody Guthrie." You don't have to agree with his politics to appreciate his musical craft.
