My very favorite version of this song was done by RICHARD MARKOW who Utah Phillips nicknamed THE LIVING CARTOON) when R.M. was singing with the great band (pretty much a jug band) called HOT TAMALE AND THE RED HOTS in Chcago's folk scene --- circa mid-1980s. The band consisted of Jan Burda, Fred Campeau, Rich Markow, Paul Breidenbach (Dobro)and Rich-something-or-other on tuba. They did the song on my old NPR radio show---The Flea Market. I still listen to those good ol' tapes.
