I thought it had an interesting accompaniment and vocals. The lyrics departed quite a bit from versions one typically hears. “The congregation answers back with ….” Song was a Woody Guthrie standard and adopted by other folkies such as Peter, Paul & ….
Spaceman,
I only knew this as a folk song, and it was Peter, Paul and Mary from whom I first herd this version. The Limeliters I found later. PP&M were my gateway to folk and I went back in time from them to hear all the earlier singers like The Weavers.

Spaceman,
This is very different from the song I know. It takes bound for glory and runs with it. I like the difference.

It’s a very old song. Lot’s of really good versions around.
Here’s an oldie rendition

Same melody, different words. I love having a variety of the same song. This looks like a good one for a new folder!

Other oldie version. Johnny Cash also does a good take

Spaceman,
I like the start with the record player and the crackling sound of the record.
The tune is easily recognized on this too.
