I'd love to get a transcript of Furry's version Pt 1 and Pt. 2 but in the meantime can anyone tell me what he's saying in the line "I'm a natural born ?????? on the road again" -he says it again in the line with "Had it wrote on the back of my shirt I'm a natural born ?????, don't have to work"

I'm pretty sure we've had a thread going over all this before, but I haven't got time to search for it right now.

Barry- I think that's "easeman"--someone who's laid back. Like mellow.

I always though it was "easement." Either something that eases pain/discomfort, or a right-of-way to go on any road you choose to travel, or a railroad siding where trains sit before they go out again.

Thanks for putting in that link Gene, I thought I remembered typing that lot out somewhere!

Still no definitive decision on the "Easeman" / "Eastman" thing - I say sing it like Furry does and let your audience decide.

Thanks everyone, for the info, now I'm even more intrigued as to the definition and context "eas?man." If I get any other leads I'll be glad to post them here.
