Chaming Hostess Vigilante Man HD

Woody Guthrie wrote the words to this song based on his experiences as a dust bowl refugee. He borrowed a traditional tune which appears in the songs “Today Has Been a Lonesome Day“ and “Please See That My Grave Is Kept Clean.“ The lyrics, about institutional violence against poor people, remain relevant: “Why does a vigilante man carry a shotgun in his hand? Would he shoot his brother or sister down?“ Max Baloian: Guitar Jewlia Eisenberg: Voice, Dulcimer Jessie Ivry: Voice, Cello Jason Slota: Drums Music
