My girl, my girl, don't lie ... to me
In the early 2000s, I discovered that Nirvana's cover of Leadbelly's "Where Did You Sleep Last Night?" reduced my at-the-time girlfriend to tears, because she thought I was attempting to guilt-trip her. I wasn't then, but I sure as hell was when I played it the next time.

Never done anything like that before or since, I might add.

I think it was older even than Leadbelly
and the song was originally called Black Girl. My mum has some very very old guitar music for it from when she was a young girl.

Cor!
Thanks. I know it from a Leadbelly LP my dad gave me when he got rid of his turntable. He asked for it back when he found out it might have been worth a bit of cash. Unfortunately, I don't know where in my loft it is.

I love that song,
and not being a great fan of Nirvana, I was relieved when I discovered it wasn't actually theirs.

It was the only reason I bought the album
