Thanks for dragging that into my memory, Jim. I figured we probably had a recording in the Ozark Folk Center archives of Sean and Liz doing that song and yes sir, there it was, November 8, 1997 in one of their sets for the 1997 Cowboy Gathering.

Other than the usual extra and/or missing words here and there, the sort of thing that you always find when comparing versions, Sean made only one real departure in the lyrics. In the line For the nearest bar, and spend it foolishly, until it's gone, he sang For the nearest bar, and spend it foolishly on buttermilk and lemonade. No doubt this was a sly local interest joke brought on by the fact that Stone County where Mountain View is located is a dry county.

I am pretty certain we'll be using that on our KFFB at the Ozark Folk Center radio show sometime in the coming weeks. Thanks again.
