Ted Hawkins is one of my favorite singers. Sadly, he died before most of his recordings were published. He had more success in Europe and in the US supported himself busking. The explanation is he was "difficult" but what does that mean in racist America?
He didn't want to change his song arrangements to something more commercial, is that difficult or integrity? What does difficult mean in white supremacy?
Whatever, don't let racist erasure win, listen to Ted Hawkins.

Think of The Lost Ones" which was too real for America
Mama is dyin' and Daddy is gone
I'd call the doctor but there's no telephone
Sister is cryin' and the medicine is gone
We are the lost ones livin' all alone
Mama is dyin' and Daddy is gone
I'd call the doctor but there's no telephone
Sister is cryin' and the medicine is gone
We are the lost ones livin' all alone
I am not workin' because I am not old enough
My sisters are too small and they cannot help us
We've all tried prayin' but I don't know how to pray
We are the lost ones seekin' help today
My sisters are too small and they cannot help us
We've all tried prayin' but I don't know how to pray
We are the lost ones seekin' help today
