The first time I heard this song it was by Ry Cooder, and more recently Bruce Springsteen has done his own version of it but written his own lyrics to reflect the tragedy of the floods in New Orleans, but the original was done by Blind Albert Reed in 1929…

I took the Viking ferry from Helsinki to Stockolm. It was a rough crossing and it was snowing. The boat was full of Russians spending the last of their petro-dollars, and Swedish men with lots of gold chains around their necks buying snuff. I saw one man…
