Midnight in the Village
Seeger lights the candles
From Bitter End to Gaslight
Baez leaves the stage
Ochs takes notes
When the black girl and guitar
Burn together hot in rage
You've got what it takes

Kennedy would kill. For the lines that you've written
Van Ronk says to Bobby 'she's the next real thing'
Crouched in the half light, screaming like a banshee
You're in the boat, babe, we're in the water
