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."]
