Oh yeah, Barbara Allen.
Remember the story?
Like, he's dying because he's in love with her,
and he sends people to get her
and bring her to his bedside.
And she comes in, slowly, slowly, she came in, and slowly,
she came nigh him, and something, something, something, something.
She looks down at him
and she says, young man, I think you're dying. I mean,
what a bitch, man, you know.
This is a song that Leonard Cohen wrote
with Jennifer Warnes,
and I did a song of Leonard Cohen's
back in the 60s
called Suzanne,
and it got a lot of airplay, and it was,
I got to know Leonard at that time,
and I didn't see him for years.
And a few years ago
I ran into him somewhere
and I went up to him
and I said, hi Leonard,
it's Noel Harrison.
He looked at me, he went like
this.
They'll never catch us.
