I stumbled coming out of the gate, but recovered to sing what was a prison song made famous by Huddie Ledbetter, a bluesman "discovered" at Louisiana State Penitentiary in July 1933 by folklorist John Lomax. After his release from prison, "Leadbelly" would make music his career until his death in 1949. The song was later popularized by Creedence Clearwater Revival. Played in G on a National Triolian.
