DILLINGER (excerpt) David Olney
...John's got a bottle and he's feelin' no pain, Just the usual low-down misery. "Hey, John, don't you think it's a cryin' shame, A man lose a farm an' he ain't to blame?" "They're suckers," says John Dillinger....
[Recorded by David Olney on "Through a Glass Darkly."]
