03 Jun 01 - 12:27 AM (#475524) Subject: Hobo's Lullaby /Oklahoma Hills From: GUEST,Jessica Soundtrack lyrics "Woody Guthrie" or similar lyrics most sung by Woody, Arlo, Maddox, Pete Seeger. I thought Arlo put this cassette together after his father's death, asking a number of musicians to choose a favorite song to perform on tape/film. Any more accurate info? Also lyrics to This Land is Your Land |

It's the same tune as "Just Before The Battle Mother" as far as I know. Hope that helps, kat |

Ps Emmylou Harris does a cracking version! |

There is also a midi of the tune, plus a parody called the Landlord's Lullaby. Jenellen, who owes whom a coke?!**BG** One of my favs, so I always know where it is! lol

Max, if this thread dies before you catch this, I'll send you your very own message. CC |

I always use the "Digitrad and Forum Search" since to be truthful, I hate the damn DT search engine. Emmylou and Arlo did a nice duet on "Hobo" on the "Vision Shared" TV program....sadly it's not on the album from the show. Spaw |

06 Jun 01 - 06:57 AM (#477408) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Hobo's Lullaby /Oklahoma Hills From: Suffet And come hear Guest Jessica sing Oklahoma Hills and Hobo's Lullaby at the Woody Guthrie Birthday Bash Round Robin Songfest. Sunday, July 15, 2001, from 7 to 9 PM at CB's 313 Gallery, 313 Bowery, New York City. $5 cover charge. Accompanying her on Oklahoma Hills will be Rich Fried on banjo and yours truly here on guitar. And we have worked out a bluegrass arrangement rather than the western swing usually heard. Accompanying Jessica on Hobo's Lullaby will be Joel Landy on guitar and vocal harmonies. I might join on second guitar and harmonies. Jessica's inquiry was, therefore, not hypothetical. --- Steve |

They didn't include Emmylou and Arlo's duet of Deportees,which I thought was one of the best songs on the program. As always, Emmylou did an excellent job on "Hobo". |
