   It made me think of "Gypsy Davy", and going up the thread at google, I see   
   that someone back in 1993 pointed that out, it's kind of a song with   
   various titles and similar lyrics.  The version I know best is off "Last   
   of the Brooklyn Cowboys".  But I thought I heard another version along the   
   way, so maybe Woody's.   
      
   Wikipedia has a decent entry on the song, and all the recorded versions.   
      
   I kind of wonder if "Boots of Spanish Leather" is a nod to "buckskin   
   gloves made of Spanish leather".   
      
   You used to always sign your posts with "ADG", making me wonder if you   
   were named after the song.
