Lyr Req: Before They Tow My Car Away

When I was much younger I recall this charming semi-serious song, sung with a kind of sad cantina style melody by someone who sounded a like a resonant Oscar Brand:

"I'd like to drink your coffee my love
I'd like to stay all day
But I must kiss you quick, and run, my love
Before they tow my car away

(say you haven't got change for a quarter?)"

Hmmmm. I gotta hear this song. Apparently, it's from a 1970 recording by John Hartford - (click).
