Now go watch the videos on the FEMA Trains and weep.

I love the haunting, but understated, beauty of this song. Thanks for posting.

This has to be the most moving soul songs of all time, and the best rendition by PP&M. I am amazed that there is but a single video available of this simple yet heart moving performance of the song written by Hedy West, who came to it from her grandmother (and so, the origins perhaps lost to history).This song. It is the song of many. It is deep beyond its words, and remains strong in its words.

I don't much like PPM, but they did introduce a lot of people to music that led later to the real stuff. This though is poor - dragged out in a sentimental way

I am in your condition. But I am in the end, and in 6 months should be back to my home. I loved this song since the first time I heard it, already very far from home.

I grew up in a real big hurry--I became a man instead of being a snot-nosed punk. Then I realized that I really didn't have it so bad at home afterall!! I went back home some 20 years later--I broke down and cried--it wasn't home anymore-at least not the way I left it. I wish I had laid down a bunch of those "breadcrumbs"--maybe I would have "found" my way back sooner and appreciated it for what it was--not what I thought it should be when I turned my back on my world...GOD BLESS!!!

Thank you for your comment!! I was very rebellious as a teen and, by goly, I made up my mind that I was gonna do what I wanted to do and to heck with the rest of my world. I began to realize just how thick-skulled I truly was when I landed a job on the Chessie Systems Railroad (now known as Family Lines System). I had bosses I swore took mean and ugly pills everyday!! But, it was a very dangerous job and I was injured on several occaisions.
