05 Sep 00 - 08:40 AM (#291286) Subject: God's Own Drunk From: Lonesome Cowboy Jimmy Buffet does a song (more of a story really) on "Living and Dying in 3/4 Time" called "God's Own Drunk". In Radio Margaritaville's discography there is no credit to the songwriter/storyteller. Does anyone know who it and what the background is on it? The story has a Prohibition era, Appalachian ring to it--mountains, stills, moonshine. A search on this forum revealed only a clue about "Lord Ricard (Richard?) Buckley". Thanks for any information. |
