Thread Name: The Saddest Song of All
Subject: RE: The Saddest Song of All
First of all, I would like to thank all the previous posters to this thread for not naming I Am..I Said. Frankly, when Neil starts chatting with the Barcalounger, I just crack up.
The Dave Van Ronk choices are high on my list. Here are two by Oscar Brown, Jr. One is Rags and Old Iron in which the singer is offering to sell his broken heart to the ragman - of course, the ragman declines. The other is A Young Girl - the tragic story of a 15 year old runaway.
