Thread Name: Lyr Req: Jugband Song (David Bromberg)
Subject: Has anyone recorded 'Gasoline?'
Slim Chance & the Survivors have long performed a song titled "Gasoline" (which Slim often attributes to David Bromberg) which says in part,
"She's got eyes like crystal water
Lips like ruby wine
A body like fine brandy
And a soul like turpentine
Oh, Ma, she treats her daddy
so damn mean (so damn mean)
When I ask for water
She brings me gasoline..."
Is there a recording of this song available by anyone? I haven't found a recording of it by Bromberg, perhaps he does it in his live act.
