Catalogue Note

Written on the back of Johnny Cash printed stationery, this unpublished song is named for the traditional and inexpensive stew and recalls many of Cash's classic motifs: "Never laugh at the devil / Cause he aint to be outsmarted / Bout the time you think you whiped him / You will find that he's just started / He will run you off the sidin / Jump right up from where he's hidin' / Turn your plans into slumgullion."
