Subject: ADD Verse: Oh Babe It Ain't No Lie
This is such a great song, it could use another verse. Bill Staines has a nice third verse on his Old Dogs album:
Been down so long, Lord it looks like up to me,
Yet nobody seems to care;
Sittin' here thinkin' that if trouble were money,
Then I'd be a millionaire.
Don't know if Staines wrote the verse or not, but it works.
