Well, I got no job and I got no pay
Coal Tattoo is one of my very favourite songs (and it's easy to play on the guitar) and here it is on John Peel's Perfumed Garden radio programme sung by Shawn Phillips, who wrote it. EDIT: whoops, no he didn't: it was Billy Ed Wheeler.
Bonus bit of (muffled) Peel chat at the end!
EDIT: many thanks to whoever put Coal Tattoo in the Dropbox!

Hey--I like that Springsteen--that's not on the Seeger Sessions album, is it? Like the Coal Tattoo, too. Off to give you a dond...
No, it's on Live In Dublin. The whole album sounds as if everyone's having the most tremendous fun...
