    Great one. I can't find it rn because it's impossible for me to find the one specific video where Utah Phillips sings this and tells yarns, but it has a great apocryphal addition that I enjoy. Utah said that other than this poem, some of Joe's last words were a request to have his body carried over the state line - because he didn't want to get caught dead in the state of Utah
