Deportee - Woody Guthrie cover

Today's song is sadly just as relevant today as it was in 1948 when Woody Guthrie first put it down. "Deportee" with lyrics by Guthrie and music by Martin Hoffman was first recorded by Cisco Houston in 1961. It has been often covered by just about everyone who picked up an acoustic guitar including The Kingston Trio, Judy Collins, Dolly Parton, Peter, Paul & Mary, Bruce, Arlo & Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, Nanci Griffith, Billy Bragg, Richard Shindell, The Byrds and Old Crow Medicine Show.
