This Train

Fun video of "This Train," a great song from the Winter collection!



 We have another spiritual in the Spring session.  These songs are important because they are a part of American history.  "This Train" began as a spiritual and then was adapted to by Woodie Guthrie, and others, to be a folk song as well.

African American spirituals often had code words.  Sometimes in reference to the underground railroad.  To learn more about spirituals and their meanings click here.
