DESCRIPTION:
This is an Odetta cover song, although it was written by Holly West, according to some authorities. There is, however, some controversy over who wrote the song, as there are a number of songs fairly similar, dating back decades. This song was one of the many during the era of the folk music renaissance, with Odetta one of the central figures in it, with her steel guitar, her deep and resonant voice and strong delivery. This song is a testimony to that time.
