My dad asked me to record this song long before someone put it on line so I could learn it. I was so surprised: the story was so unlike what I was expecting. In fact the song doesn't make any sense to me even now.

I have always really liked this song. It's a cool story and delightful music. Has that funny/sad combination. Resignation of the poor and downtrodden.

This is another song Dad asked me to learn for years. Like, RoseWood Casket, It makes no literal sense to me.
