My version of the Goodman song goes:
I got drunk the day my Ma got outta prison Took my dog & went to fetch her in the rai-ai-ai-ain But before I could pick her up In my good old pickup truck She went & got run over by a damned old train
At this point I don't know if I heard Steve do it like this or its mine own embellishment.
