Track 3 from his twelfth album "Endless Wire" released in 1978 copyright Warner Bros. Records. It was again recorded at Eastern Sound Studios in Toronto and just missed being in the Top Twenty on the Billboard chart, coming in at No. 22. It includes a new version of "The Circle is Small (I Can See It in Your Eyes)" originally released on his fourth album "Back Here on Earth" in 1968. The album received below average reviews and reached No. 56 in Australia, No. 22 in the U.S. and No. 2 in Canada. Although he's no longer with us, it was announced today that a new double live album recorded at the Royal Albert Hall in London in 2016 will be released July 14th.

I go in for singin', I do it for my pay
The kinda gig I can really dig is swiggin' at the break of day
With a few good friends and neighbours into playin' the nighttime tunes
So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room

(Oh, Lord, it feels so good to play a nighttime tune)
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)

I believe in magic, a little monkeyshines
The kind of row I can really hoe is playin' in tune on time
With rhythms all around us we're like weavers at the loom
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)

(Oh, Lord, it feels so good to play a nighttime tune)
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)

When it comes to mornin' we're goin' out at night
The kind of test that I like the best is rubbin' the wrong girl right
And a few good friends and neighbors into playin' the nighttime tunes
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)

(Oh, Lord, it feels so good to play a nighttime tune)
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)
(With rhythms all around us we're like weavers at the loom)
(So pass the jar and that old guitar in this hangdog hotel room)
