BobTalk

This ones called New Orleans Rag, you'll find out why. I'll try to remember all the verses for you. At one time this was very long. But …. I don't think it will be quite that long tonight. I'll try to see what I can put in it though.

Red wing. It's reform school. Don't have no high school football teams though or nothing like that. No cheer leaders.

This is for all the boys who know girls who want them to go out and get themselves killed. (before Hero Blues)

If you …., want to know about the abolishment of boxing I would ask Miss Benny Kid Paret or Mrs. Davey Moore before I asked Cassius Clay. Just a personal tendency there. (before Who Killed Davey Moore?)

I believe in the ten commandments. The first one is I am the Lord thy God. It's a great commandment if it's not said by the wrong people. So here's this is called Masters of War.

This is a carnival song, fairgrounds. I just want to speak about it. (before Dusty Old Fairgrounds).

I have a poem here. It's not a poem its ahh. This is the first concert I played alone in New York, really. An a fellow in Brooklyn State Hospital, his name is Woody Guthrie. But err Woody is more than a folk singer. He's really something else more than a folk singer an err there's this book coming out that's dedicated to him. An they asked me to write something about Woody. like what does Woody mean to you in 25 words. An err I couldn't do it I wrote out 5 pages an err I have it here. I have it here by accident actually. But I'd like to say this out loud. So this is my feelings towards Woody Guthrie. Cannot really be told in err how many records of his I buy, it's a lot more than that actually. So if you can roll along with this thing here this is called Last Thoughts On Woody Guthrie.

BobTalk

I wanna sing one song here recognising that there are Goliath's nowadays. An err people don't realise just who the Goliath's are but in older days Goliath was slayed and everybody looks back nowadays and sees how Goliath was. Nowadays there are crueler Goliath's who do crueler crueler things but one day they gonna be slain too, An people 2,000 years from now can look back an say remember when Goliath the second was slain. (before When The Ship Comes In).

Here's a song I wrote its about a friend of mine an it's called Percys Song. An I took the tune from a song that a folk singer by the name of Paul Clayton sings. Called the Wind And The Rain.

Note. 3 was used as a Witmark & Sons demo.
