You know, Bob's a really nice guy, and, especially if he knew you had already ordered a CD, I am guessing he'd be willing to send you those lyrics. This is just a theory, mind, but it's based on history: He once sent us lyrics to a song he wrote that Stringband performed but had never recorded -- and never did record -- just because we asked nicely.

There's an email link on his website, the Old Folksinger's Homepage.

In the meantime, I was able to transcribe one verse from a sample at his web site:

Love the mouth and the small of your back
And the things you say when you talk to the cat.
I want to make love when we're in our eighties.
I want to improve your taste in movies.
I want to stroke your breasts and rub your shoulder.
I want you to rub me just a little bit lower.
I want to marry you.
Ya wanna marry me?

It shouldn't be hard to transcribe the whole thing once you get it. These lyrics were very clear.
