Drop whatever you are doing,O'Neal and Schadt performed "This Land Is Your Land," which Woody wrote, and "Lonesome Road Blues," which he inherited, as did we all: Woody sang it as "Goin' Down the Road Feeling Bad" and, to fit the omnipresent wind motif of Dust Bowl Ballads, as "Blowin' Down the Road."
Stop your work and worry, too;
Sit right down and take it easy,
Here comes Woody and Lefty Lou.
