Cut shortly before one of them was send to Korea and a profetical song for Ira: that day in '63 after he had beaten up his wife once again, she shot him, twice in the hand, four times in the chest. Two of these chest bullets were stopped by the Bible he always kept on him. At one point the song goes: My Bible saved me, It's played its part, It stopped the bullet aimed at my heart.
Covers:
Notting Hillbillies [first played it for Andy Kershaw's BBC radio show in '88, released on Brendan Croker's Kershaw Sessions album ('94)]
