About This Song
About "Ha-Ha This a Way (Wnyc - Folk Songs of America, Recorded 3/13/1941, Pt. 5)" by Lead Belly
A playful call-and-response romp, 'Ha-Ha This a Way' finds Lead Belly at his most mischievous. The guitar bounds like a happy dog, and his laugh is infectious. Yet beneath the joy lies a communal resilience—a fleeting, hard-won lightness captured live on air, precious and unguarded.
