Thread Name: Cisco Houston: His story and songs....
Subject: RE: Cisco Houston: His story and songs....
Does anyone know the name of a Cisco Houston LP (which I once got on Vinyl from a record library) which featured, among others, the following songs:

Big Rock Candy Mountain
? Old Blue (I think is the name, about a favoutite dog called Blue)
? Goldmine Blues (Again, I think this is the title; it starts: "Come all you young fellows so young and so fine, And seek not your fortune way down in the mine)
? Hard Travelling (Included the lyrics "I've been doing some hard travelling, I thought you knowed; I've been doing some hard travelling, way down the road..")

There was also a talking blues song (whose title I forget) with the immortal lines: "Well I always did guess and I always did figure, that if that there stew had been a little bit thinner, some of these here politicians could have seen through it"

I am sure there were several other songs on it. If anyone can name the title or suggest where I could get hold of the album, I would be very grateful.
