Elizabeth Cotten and Pete Seeger doing an excellent job singing ‘Freight Train.’

One of Bob’s best songs performed live with an Egyptian head scarf and a scruffy beard.

Lyrics can be found here.

A great little anti-establishment song written by Tom Paxton and performed by the one and only Pete Seeger. I have provided the lyrics so you can sing along.

What Did You Learn in School Today
(Tom Paxton)

What did you learn in school today,
dear little boy of mine?
I learned that Washington never told a lie
I learned that soldiers seldom die
I learned that everybody's free
That's what the teacher said to me
And that's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school

What did you learn in school today,
dear little boy of mine?
I learned that policemen are my friends
I learned that justice never ends
I learned that murderers die for their crimes
Even if we make a mistake sometimes
And that's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school

What did you learn in school today,
dear little boy of mine?
I learned that war is not so bad
I learned about the great ones we have had
We fought in Germany and in France
And someday I might get my chance
And that's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school

What did you learn in school today,
dear little boy of mine?
I learned that our government must be strong
It's always right and never wrong
Our leaders are the finest men
So we elect them again and again
And that's what I learned in school today
That's what I learned in school
