I drives me nuts that this song is a "B-SIDE" considering how awesome it is. How this is excluded from "Murder Ballads" in lieu of such songs a "The Kindness of Strangers" or "Lovely Creature" or "Crow Jane" i'll never understand. Maybe it was too similar to "Stagger Lee" and "O'Malley's Bar." I wouldn't have minded at all personally.
This is sort of a silly song for "songmeanings.net" but hell, shouldn't every ballad be - just tell the story move on the the next one. And this ballad tells it with such descriptive flair and instrumental ruckus - it's impossible not to love this song.
