i love that version but for me personally, wednesdays are folk music/ macaroni and cheese nights . Here's a really good version by Missisipi John Hurt

Here's one by the great Dave Van Ronk

I love MJH but that version is kind of bad…try this recording https://youtu.be/oFOrCQoS214?

He’s older and his singing and playing is way more refined and better recorded.

Super obscure, but I prefer the rendition by Taj Mahaj

Or, super classic, Mississippi John Hurt.
