Huddie Ledbetter nasceu em 1885, em Louisiania. Aos 15 já era pai, e já tinha aprendido a tocar acordeon e violão com seu primo e fazia sucesso nas festinhas locais. Aos 16 foi pai pela 2º vez. Segundo a Wikipedia, até os 20 anos ele deve ter feito pelo menos 5 filhos. Sua fama de "garanhão" era grande.
Ele ganhou esse apelido na prisão pelo seu físico "sarado" mesmo. Aliás, até na prisão, entre os guardas e colegas, ele fazia sucesso cantando e tocando; isso até facilitou seu perdão da pena da primeira prisão (foram quatro).

This version is from the album 'Alabama Bound' Leadbelly & The Golden Gate Quartet.
*E = 202100 The *E is just really a step up from the E chord to the Bm, The step down from the Bm the the E chord is the open A string
