This song has many remakes. If you have time @clixmoney, look more into the life of Woody Guthrie and the history of this song.

Woody was blacklisted by the FBI in 1944 for writing a newspaper column for the Sunday Worker. In the sixties he was suffering from Huntington's disease.

would say that I'm glad living in this time because I feel awake now.
