Biografia:
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).

After they done picked cotton all day
A
And their mothers and fathers gonna take ‘em home

And walk around

And they gon’ sing this song

Bidding each other goodbye”
