Hobo's Lullaby

Emmylou Harris recorded this Woody Guthrie song in 1988 for
a CD called Folkways: A Vision Shared (A Tribute to Woody
Guthrie and Leadbelly).  There are a few other songs on the
CD that are played on acoustic guitar:  Bob Dylan sings
Pretty Boy Floyd; Bruce Springsteen sings I Ain't Got No
Home; and Arlo Guthrie does East Texas Red.

In Hobo's Lullaby, Emmylou Harris sings and plays guitar,
and Mark O'Connor plays fiddle. The fiddle comes in at the
beginning of the second chorus, and has a solo between the
chorus and the second verse.  I think the vocals are
double-tracked on the last chorus.
