Subject: RE: Lyr Req: steaboat whistle blues
John Hartford's "Steamboat Whistle Blues" is a very different song, with such lyrics as "Far out, Johnny I heard him say as he stretched out back on the waterbed, Bluegrass music is a thing of the past and the same for rock and roll" I don't remember all the lyrics, but figure what I did recall is pretty good, given I learned them off 8-track tape, a technology that won't follow us into the new millenium.
