I ain't got no silver, I ain't got no gold
In the white sheet winter, with its dawn so cold
You know I froze, in sun

I ain't got no silver, I ain't got no gold
In dead street daylight, and shadow
And in a dark so cold, and calm
I'm all callow and gone

I ain't got no silver, I ain't got no gold
In the dead heat daydream of marrow
And in a thought so cold, as alms
I'll follow and fawn

 he plays this song around 6-7m into this tiny desk concert

Pretty rudimentary song here compared to other tunes I've heard from him; but obviously that's what he was going for.  Still, it it seems like album filler to me, or a sing-along number for when he plays outdoor festivals.
Dullsville Arizona!

Misterfixit, I would say that you are well entitled to your collection. Hope you are well.

It's said that when times get really bad, lead is more valuable than gold.

I do like the flow ....
