Bob performed once or twice a year at Lewiston, MI's Redwood Steak House in 1974-6 or so. He enjoyed the town, and would be a guest at the home of a particular family during his stay. The father/son pair of the host family recorded his performances - if only I could recall their name. Undoubtedly, in such a small town, someone with the time could probably seek out the recordings.

My recollection of some of the lines are different from those posted by Mr. Dixon, but then, over years of live performances, I would expect some changes. Also, my own memory could be failing - which is why I sought out this site. Thanks!

[VERSE 1] Well, the harvesting was over.
The alfalfa and the clover
Was all cut and dried and put up in the mow.
And I bought some lime on credit,
and I took it out and spread it,
And then I greased and put away the plow.
My Pa said, "Son, I can't afford it,
But y' ought to be rewarded,
So here's fifty bucks to go to Evansville.
But then I made my mind up,
And I got my shoes all shined up,
And I said to him, "By Ned, I think I will!"

[CHORUS 1] I'll find a great big-chested woman,
A girl with knockers so big you won't believe,
I'm going to find myself a great big-chested woman,
And I'll marry-up with her before I leave.

Well, I saw their Coloseum,
and I took in their museums,
and I went to their theatres, there to here,
_(?)_________
and even drank myself a beer.


And I rode the escelator, just for fun.

I was in line at the Bijou for my ticket,
and I nearly flipped my wicket,
when I got a look at that there young cashier!

[CHORUS #2]

VERSE 3] Wedding night at seven-thirty,
We checked into the McCurdy,
And we got a room way up on the seventh floor.
I went for a glass of water,
And I tell you, boys, I oughter
have grabbed my clothes and run right then and there,
Because above her solar plexus,
She was flat as central Texas,
And those massive breasts were hangin' from a chair!


Whata great performer and
