Album : Langhorne Slim This isn't exactly how he plays it live, but it does emulate the keyboard accompaniment pretty well. The last few lines were difficult to understand. All the sources I found did not seem to be what he was singing. (Maybe they copied each other) After listening to several different performances of this song, I think the lyrics I've shown here are pretty close. Feedback is welcome (pun intended).
