Subject: RE: Songs that should have been folk songs
"Guest" stole one of mine! I like the Croce song too. Also, "Pony Man" by Lightfoot, "Pancho & Lefty," "Nobody Knows You When You're Down and Out," Shel Silverstein's "Beans Taste Fine," Marty Robbins' "El Paso" and "Big Iron," among others; perhaps even the late Frankie Laine's "Mule Train and "Rawhide" (we'll omit "Blazing Saddles this time) and, last but least, "Tie Me Kangaroo Down" by Rolf Harris. Oh, yes - and "Ghost Riders in the Sky," by anyone but Vaughn Monroe, AKA "Old Mushmouth," as named by my mom many years ago.
