Leadbelly revisited –– At least three recordings. A mix of 'clean' and 'subversive' lyrics; a cappella, singalong w/audiences and solo. The interwebs given dates and sound samples are darn near worthless.

Army Life, Leadbelly, Easy rider, Folkways Records, FP 34, 1950, LP, trk.B4 (1:45)

From the various center labels: “All songs words & music by Huddie Ledbetter” “Recorded by Moses Asch January '41––'46”
Liner notes: “Sensitive as performer, he knew he had to find new words. Out of trial and error came the songs Jim Crow, Army Life, and Hitler Song….

Singalong vocals & guitar:

Army Life
The clothes that they give you they say are mighty fine,
But me and my buddy could both fit in-to mine
I don't want no more of Army life.
Gee but I want to go home.

The shoes that they give you, they say
        are mighty fine;
Ask for number seven boys, they will
        give you number nine.

Chorus
The hot dogs that they give you, they
        say are very fine;
One rolled off the table and it started
        marking time.

Chorus
The coffee that they give you, the say
        it was mighty fine;
It tastes like something else and it's
        just like iodine.

Chorus
The biscuits that they give you, they
        say are mighty fine;
One jumped off the table and knocked
        out a pal of mine.

Chorus
The money that they give you, they say
        was mighty fine;
Ask for fifty dollars and they take back
        forty nine.

Chorus
When you go out to vote tell me who
        you gonna put on your mind?
When you go out to vote just register
        and take your time.

Chorus
We don't want no more war, boy and
        I got it on my mind;
And when you go out and register you
        better take your time.

Chorus
The food is getting higher – getting
        higher every day,
But, boy, the money I'm getting it
        ain't enough to pay.”
