The chorus went: He flies, he floats, he locomotes ... rigs and ..., ... horses and boats And he's gone again He's a most unusual Down home beautiful Giant of a natural Slam-bang animal gentleman Anybody know the rest of the words? |

It showed "Ramblin' Jack Elliott" as the name of a song on one of his albums. I guess that's probably the name of the song I'm asking about. (Actually, I'm just refreshing the thread so that it can be seen by people who just sign on to the Mudcat on the weekend, but I figured I might as well add the little piece of additional information I had found while I was at it.) |
