Well that's not exactly what he said.

"When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud" is in the first
verse.

The second verse is:

>>And if I pass this way again You can rest assured,
>>I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word,
>>In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm,
>>Come in she said I'll give you
>>Shelter from the storm

Verse seven

>>>Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount,
>>>But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts,
>>>And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn,
>>>Come in she said I'll give you
>>>Shelter from the storm.


"Beauty walks on a razors edge" is in the last verse.

I understand that you were trying to invoke COL49, but don't mess with Bob.

I can't be too hard on ya though. Last night, on a stage in Somerville MA, I
completely forgot the second verse of a Johnny Cash tune that I've sung at
least 200 times. I just stood there dumbfounded, unable to even make
something up. Fortunately, people thought it was pretty funny.


Peace,
