I love "you gotta move" myself, you know The Bowling Stoned idiots covered that tune & Fred only got the cash for it a matter of days before he died
He only got found by Alan Lomax on a field recording session & Fred walked out of some bushes with his guitar over his back & said he can play, the Lomax's were unsure till he played the first 16 bars & in interviews they both said their jaw hit the floor.
Best footage of Fred I ever seen & one of his best known tracks, I love it so much & not just because of what his actually talking about.

You know John Henry was a steel drivin' man, John Henry died with a hammer in his hand
