Thread Name: Lyr Req: The Man with the Big Hat (Steve Fromholz)
Subject: Lyrics req: The Man in the Big Hat
I am looking for lyrics to a song in which the chorus contains the lines: "The man in the big hat is buying , so drink up while the drinking is free. Drink to my compadres a dead and a-dying. Drink to my compadres and me." I heard this song performed by Milton Carroll in the late sixties, but Milton disappearred into the wilds of Texas before I could learn it. Any info on Milton Carroll or these lyrics would be appreciated. Thanks Ron
