Ingrid Bergman, Ingrid Bergman
Let's go make a picture
On the island of Stromboli
Ingrid Bergman
Ingrid Bergman, you're so perty
You'd make any mountain quiver
You'd make fire fly from the crater
Ingrid Bergman
This old mountain it's been waiting
All its life for you to work it
For your hand to touch its hard rock
Ingrid Bergman
Ingrid Bergman
If you'll walk across my camera
I will flash the world your story
I will pay you more than money
Ingrid Bergman
Not by pennies, dimes, nor quarters
But with happy sons and daughters
And they'll sing around Stromboli
Ingrid Bergman
This old mountain it's been waiting
All its life for you to work it
For your hand to touch its hard rock

The best thing about this stunning (and amazing) channelling of the ghost of Woody is Billy's aw-shucks American accent in singing it, so much like Woody's voice. Terrific! And the wistful but clever lyric manages to be poetic, horny and funny all at the same time. One of the best (only?) and most successful collaborations from beyond the grave....
