HANG DOWN YOUR HEAD PHIL OCHS
(Tom Paxton/Trad.)

Hang down your head, Phil Ochs.
You ain't no friend of mine.
You blew your radical image
When you got a good review in Time.

Notes:
Mike Miller said he sang his version of "I Dreamed I Saw Phil Ochs Last Night" for Tom Paxton, and that when Tom heard it, he said that he had written one, too. It was to the tune of the Kingston Trio's version of "Tom Dooley". When I asked Tom about this, he said he had no recollection of the incident, but I'm guessing that Mike was probably more likely to have remembered it.
