Thread Name: Lyr Req: 4th verse? City of New Orleans
Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 4th verse? City of New Orleans
My thanks too Don.

Given the circumstances you questioned Goodman you'd have heard a 4th verse if there was one, and the Denver half verse "Twilight" always sounded a bit dodgy to me BIRC he bowlderized the lyrics too removing the line "old black men" too; replacing it with something more PC.

I guess the "4th verse" is a myth. Which begs the question "What's the folkie equivalent of Urban Myth?" ;-)
