this is definitely where the zeppelin boys got their momentum from this is the influence for a few zep tunes this the plain raw meat Street vendor blues that the Led Zep spiced and redefined no longer a hot dog, though it'll keep you regular this is the real S*** hot blues

Doesn't get better than this

Just found out Ramon Ayala's cuando era un jonvencito was inspired by this song

This is a milder version probably at request of Smithsonian. Censoring is nothing new. Horrid

Stupid song, sung by people being forced to work for free by idiots.

stay woke!

seems nothings changed on the streetwisedom side of life

Interesting tuning. Neat Hit.

Anyone approximately my age or older, if memory is still more or less intact, might recall a song from the 50s, a hit tune sung by Jimmy Rodgers called "Kisses Sweeter Than Wine". It was this song, but with less esoteric lyrics, as rewritten by Pete Seeger and Lee Hays. Same tune, but whole different love-song lyric and more conventional chord progressions. Lead Belly got the song, Drumion Dubh, from an Irish musician he met, and who translated it into something Lead Belly could sing in English.

FABULOUS.

I been diggin' a woman's sweet potatoes... almost lost my mind

Un-nachahmliche Urgestein Zeitreise im Original; und Rory hats so derart würdig weitergegeben, that's Rory,

Brilliant.

I had no clue what black Betty actually was. I spent many nights on the dance floor in the 80s dancing to his remakes. What an iconic voice.

I have a cassette tape with a different recording of this song.. but they're all on there: Woody, Hudie Cisco & Sonny It's really nice to hear this take. Thanks. (Makes me wonder how many times they played this song all together just for fun sometimes. And how those recordings sounded)

Someone tell me the chords for the song please

KEEP THE EYES OPE.

Leadbilly wrote this song in 1940, and Creedence made it known all over the world! Greetings from Asuncion, Paraguay!

His influence is unbelievable. I’m In awe. When I die I hope I can hear him play in heaven

My god how he tears a guitar to shreds. Scary wonderful man. WOW.

Eric Clapton, Nirvana etc he will never will be forgotten. He’s truly immortal.

Wonderful. What is America without Leadbelly

He wanted

Without the Internet, his memory would be almost impossible.

He was amazing he contribute to today musician what we are know. God bless

I first sang this song on my bus going to high school. It was before CCR since I’m now 81. I had no idea it was Lead Belly until today. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

It's a great song but Jack Johnson had nothing to do with the Titanic. Supposedly this was to show how ridiculous Jim Crow laws were.

He never said a mumbling word for me.

Great version. Good sound quality. Not the one I recognized: th-cam.com/video/KyLDFaRw5Yw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YqO6HdGwCWREXA0E

Sad that woke has become synonymous with delusion, or with endless sympathy for self destructive incompetence.

When Ron DeSantis says "stop woke" it's not an accident.

Use to listen to my friend Walter sing and play this. ❤

Wow

"I think it was a day or two after that that his plane went down. And somebody - somebody I’d never seen before - handed me a Leadbelly record with the song “Cottonfields” on it. And that record changed my life right then and there. Transported me into a world I’d never known. It was like an explosion went off. Like I’d been walking in darkness and all of the sudden the darkness was illuminated. It was like somebody laid hands on me. I must have played that record a hundred times." - Bob Dylan

am reading a book called Scottsboro Stories

The 78 has so much more bass in it. I don’t like how much treble is in this. 😎💙

Such a strong voice.......

Im WOKE and PROUD

class,,,,, a real legend,,,,,, those who need to know, know............ ever one else just don't understand 🎻🎹🪕🪗🪕🪗🪕🥁🎹

I am so pleased to hear the original after so many years. I used to listen to a later version of the song on the radio when I was a kid.

Sounds perfect at 1.4 speed (using custom option)

Amazing sound for a recording that pre-dates magnetic tape.

Thought I had heard every Leadbelly song- now this

He is so good… blues meets folk And so influential- thank you Hugh leadbetter.
