Biography:
Dan Bern (aka Bernstein, a name under which he sometimes performs) is a guitarist, singer, songwriter, and painter. His music is often compared to that of Bob Dylan, Woody Guthrie, Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello. His song "Talkin' Woody, Bob, Bruce, and Dan Blues," from the album Smartie Mine, offers a joking take on this influence, presented in the style of a Guthrie or Dylan talking blues song, and containing a spoof of a Dylan song as well.

Walking around the happiest place in the world
G Em C G
All I really know is that your hair is still curled
Bm C G
South of Brownsville, Texas, South of Miami Beach
G Em C D
All it means to me is that you're further out of reach
Bm C
Every where is sand and sun, blue sky water too
G Em C D
I... need you
G Em C D (do this in between each verse)
G Em C G
Spanish moss is hanging and you find a polished stone
G Em C G
Pocket it for luck and then you walk on alone
G Em C G
They'll rent you a bicycle with the tires blown
G Em C D
They'll carve you up a blackened fish and strip it to the bone
Bm C
A slave ship just came in, I've been talking to the crew
G Em C D
I... need you
G Em C G
Well in that house Hemingway is boxing in the back
G Em C G
I go to the library and check out all the facts
G Em C G
Nowadays it's hard to write a line, my own thoughts bore me
G Em C D
I found me an island kid who says he'll do it for me
Bm C
I'm wiping all my tears away so no one has a clue
G Em C D
That I... need you
G Em C G
The last plane out of Saigon did not know that it was

I need something to do , my violin needs to sound
G Em C G
I'm going to see if Ernest wants to go a couple rounds
Bm C
Sometimes you gotta get lost till you wind up someplace new
G Em C D
I... need you
A Asus A Am Am/G F
Some bird's flapping in the road on some crazy madman's string
A Asus A C D/F#
Something's messed up with his wing, something's messed up with my everything
G Em C G
So here's the truth at last, I tell you, Hemingway is dead
G Em C G
And everybody wants to find a steak that's slightly red
Bm C G
I thought I could escape myself by just not getting dressed
G Em C D
I thought I could escape you by coming to Key West
Bm G C
Sometimes you get lost and you don't find something new
