I am in your debt, S. Norman! So much better than Belafonte!

Mitchum can at least carry a tune. He was a somewhat underrated actor.

Near the end, the lyrics reference Knoxville, Kingston Pike, and Bearden (which he correctly pronounces as "Beer-den"). I went to Bearden High School, which is in fact located on Kingston Pike in Knoxville.
