Old Riley

Larkin Poe has just covered this song. Beautiful

[@TeleNikon]

Just watched it by Larkin Poe. Had to check out the original. This is a great tune but Larkin Poe just brought tot to a whole different level of rockin' rapture.

A song from my childhood in the 195's...my Dad lked the oldies...what a joy to hear again.

[@flybeep1661]

It's a 1930s song. Leadbelly was already dead before the 50s began.

Talk about a classic - here it is. Awesome - a flashback to 50 years ago, I grew up with this, lovely to hear it again.

Amazing that less than 5,000 viewers have viewed this and millions continue to watch cat videos...

Great! But I wouldn't have known about it if it wasn't for Lonnie Donegan.
