@Nonilex I will always hear that in Tennessee Ernie Ford's voice.

@Nonilex "The Weavers at Carnegie Hall" is the version I always think of with that song.

@Nonilex we're definitely getting back to that whole company scrip/company store in terms of health care..."which side are you on" still holds up as protest. indeed, much of the weavers repertoire was very worker and union supportive.i also have an entire playlist of coal miner songs to remind me of why everyone should have a union and how many folks died so that we'd have various safety and labor laws.kathy mattea's "coal" album has a pretty good assortment of them.

@Nonilex It was written by Merle Travis from Rosewood, Muhlenberg County, Kentucky. This is the same county that John Prine wrote about in Paradise.It is in the western coalfield region of Kentucky.

@Nonilex This is new to me, and I love it. Was a little kid when the Tennessee Ernie Ford version was a hit. His deep voice and the lyrics caught my ear and scared me a little.

@Nonilex imo, the slower versions have more impact. This live version by boosts the groove up to 11. https://youtu.be/PjXhHhxlseM
