The recording session was filmed live aboard the Sloop, while sailing up and down the Hudson River. The music video, directed by Damien Drake, can be viewed on YouTube:. It is one of the few, in not only music video sanctioned and planned with Seeger and filmed especially to accompany one of his songs.
