I have the Columbia reissue of "Story Songs," which I think is just a different label/albumcover. The 13 are the people, not the tracks, i.e., "Aimee McPherson" is also about Radio Ray (Armastad sp?). I used to think the last lines ended with "oh Morris the bold", but the tune traced to the Irish Abu/ makes it sound more like "oh Morris aboo". Kenny B. has mostly the same lyrics I hear, except: v1: Newbold Morris, sir, our Park Commissioner, v2: Last line is same as v1, not v3. v3: There's still the fire hose in case it is needed Onward with Morris, then, fight the good fight again Fight for the park site oh Morris aboo!
