I always loved this song because of the grapes of wrath movie. That was made in the 30's and it always made me wonder how old that song was. Just a simple sad song. but great!9 years ago

Remember the scene in "The Grapes of Wrath", where Ma Joad and Tom Joad danced to this? Lovely scene. Lovely movie. Lovely song. Lovely rendition. Thank you.9 years ago

My brother, sister, and some cousins and I sang this at a program for my grandparents' 50th wedding anniversary. They were homesteaders in Saskatchewan - both of the families moved to Saskatchewan in 1906 and established wheat farms. It was a tough life. 10 years ago

Its red river valley definitely. I love the mandolin work . This is very similar to old time music which is considered old time music. I understand that Woody played music this way because that was the way hillbilly/country style was rendered then and today.10 years ago

This song is very similar to "There's a chill on the hill tonight" (Moon Mullican), "Silver haired daddy of mine" (Gene Autry) and "Dear old sunny South by the sea" (Jimmie Rodgers).10 years ago

Bob Dylan based his work on Woody Guthrie, not so surprising nonetheless.10 years ago
