This train it don't pull no liars, this train
This train don't pull no liars, this train
This train don't pull no liars,
No false pretenders and no backbiters
This train don't pull no liars, this train.

You can take the beast outta the woods, but not the woods outta the beast!

Actually its a song attacking Donald (I Love David Duke) Trump:

This train it don't pull no liars, this train
This train don't pull no liars, this train
This train don't pull no liars,
No false pretenders and no backbiters
This train don't pull no liars, this train.

Great old tune.   Woody Guthrie loved this one.  He was assuredly not apolitical.  

 

This might be closer to the original.  Maybe.  It's like "In the Pines", "Where Did You Sleep", "Black Girl".  All the same tune expressed in a multitude of styles now....

I wasn't familiar with the Biddleville Quintette-- what an interesting sound!

Yes-- by so many with so many different styles. I just looked on YouTube-- unbelieveable how many groups/artists have done In The Pines-- just some of the names: The Carter Family, Baez & Dylan, Leadbelly, Pete Seeger, Dolly Parton, Nirvana, Allison Kraus, Bill Monroe, Robert Plant, Loretta Lynn, Dave van Ronk-- and many more!

As much as I love the old traditional stuff, this cover is a killer:

Cobain is wrong though.   Huddie Ledbetter didn't write it.  It is, apparently, an old Appalachian tune.  Ledbelly just did a buncha great versions.  

Here's one.  Back Girl. 

 

"Jolie Blon" is another one that has about a billion covers.
