Darlin' Companion (Live at San Quentin State Prison, San Quentin, CA - February 1969)

"Here, what's that? Hey, what are you guys drinking in those tall, purple glasses? What is that rotgut stuff? Tea? Hey, a little bit later on in the show, I'm gonna do you a brand new song that I wrote yesterday, called 'San Quentin'. Yeah. I'd like to ask my wife, June Carter, come back. Come here, June! Hey, I wonder, I wonder can we get Carl Perkins out to help us with this tune too? June and I have been singing this song, our version of a John Sebastian song, 'Darlin' Companion.'"

Darlin' companion, come on and give me understandin'

And let me be your champion, a hand to hold your pretty hand in

Darlin' companion, now you know you'll never be abandoned
