Another for the #SongsYouveNeverHeard series, I first heard this as an unaccompanied sea shanty style song on "Trout Mask Replica", still one of th emost amazing albums you will ever hear should you be able to get your hands on a copy.
Then I got hold of an NME compilation CD which had a version with music, including a harmonica. The only accompanied version I can find features Frank Zappa on acoustic guitar which you can hear here.
The song inspired an eponymous Beefheart tribute band and their site is here.
It is incredibly powerful and once you hear it it will stay with you forever, one of the many gems left to use by Don Van Vliet.
I know this is a very short post, but I would love to know what YOU think about it.
Enjoy your Thursday.
