It's not very far from Sulphur to Sugarcane
(lyrics sung 2007-09-29 in Kingston, Rhode Island:) I tried to shake the hand |
Background:
“‘Sulphur To Sugarcane’ takes its title from two Louisiana towns and is written in the voice of a charming but disreputable political campaigner. He is the kind of reprehensible fellow who glad-hands the women and gooses all the men. While playing my solo spot on ‘The Bob Dylan Show’ in November 2007, I started adding a couplet a night to the lyric, putting the name of each town visited into the narrative until I had a song that resembled ‘I've Been Everywhere’. It was startling to find how much applause one can receive for impugning the moral reputation of the ladies of Ypsilanti, even in Ypsilanti.” — elviscostello.com, March 23, 2009. |
