Subject: RE: Lyr Req: 4th verse? City of New Orleans
It was Fleming Brown who, on the fly, changed the lyric to "Golden Vanity". I used to tell about his doing before I'd do that song.
I don't even remember the correct way any more.
Fleming sang:
The Captain looked down, and the Captain he did smile,
So he made up the next line:
"5000 pounds and my daughter for a while."
