No lesson on that song here yet. You can go to recommend a lesson and suggest it and see who else votes for it.
Dave's version, from his 1962 album, Inside Dave Van Ronk, was pretty much Gary Davis' arrangement as Dave learned a lot of his style from the Reverend. Dave's main alterations were playing the bass notes upside down (4th string then 6th string on a C chord with G in the bass), and some of his own lyrics, in the style that Davis would improvise anyway. We do have a lesson on Rev. Davis' version.
