I don't usually look at the lyrics on Bob's official site but I did for this tune and they're a bit useless. There's an entire verse missing and then there's this one:
There’s a woman by the river
With some fine young handsome man
He’s dressed up like a squire
Bootlegged whiskey in his hand
Some of them died in the battle
Some of them survived as well
And I can tell you one thing
Nobody can sing the blues
Like Blind Willie McTell
Has Bob ever actually sung that "some of them died in battle" couplet?
