Subject: Lyr Req: Old Joe's Place (parody from old SNL)
Would anyone happened to have saved or remembered this; must have been about the mid-80's there was one night on Saturday Night Live a hilarious skit about the Folksmen, a parody of groups like the Kingston Trio, the Limeliters, etc., having a reunion concert. It was Christopher Guest and the other guys that later made the heavy metal parody Spinal Tap. The skit showed them rehearsing a song that went "Blood on the tracks, Blood in the mine, Brothers and sisters what a terrible time, Old 97 went in the wrong hole, now in mine number 60 there's blood on the coal..." Then they did a whole song as a performance on stage called "Old Joe's Place" about a friendly hangout of the same name where there's a "puppy in the parlor and skillet on the stove and a smelly old blanket that a Navajo wove...there's always something cooking at Old Joe's Place". I'd love to find the lyrics for Old Joe's Place. Sure would appreciate it.

Thanks, Chet W.
