Dink's Song - Carolyn Hester
This song was discovered by John Lomax in 1909 from a woman in Texas named
Dink,
who sang it as she washed her husband's clothes in a tent camp of migratory
levee-builders on the bank of the Brazos River.
This version was from Carolyn Hester's self titled album from 1962,
Produced by John Hammond, Bill Lee on Bass, and Bruce Langhorne on second
guitar.
Bob Dylan also played harmonica on some tracks of this album.
