Don Miexner: Which web page did you have in mind?

Here's Tom Paxton's agent: http://www.flemtam.com/tp.html

Here's his page at Appleseed Recordings: http://www.appleseedrec.com/tompaxton/

Here's his page at Elektra/Rhino Records: http://www.rhino.com/features/bio/73515bio.html

Here's his page at Blue Plate Music: http://www.blueplatemusic.com/paxtontour.html

Here's his page at Rounder Records: http://www.rounder.com/ByArtist.asp?musical_group_id=1349

None of those web sites have lyrics that I can find. Some have sound samples, but not of the song in question.

"Iron Man" (length=15:02) was on his album "Things I Notice Now" Elektra LP EKS-74043, 1969. It is apparently out of print and has not been reissued as a CD.

"Iron Man" is NOT on the collection "I Can't Help But Wonder Where I'm Bound: The Elektra Years" which is where you'd expect to find it if anybody was going to reissue it.

There are numerous fan web sites and record store web pages about him, but I don't have the patience to search them all.

A few lines from the song (not just the title) might help.
