Story about this misheard lyric by: Debbie Jones

We saw John Prine at West Port Playhouse in St. Louis about 10 years ago. He told the story of a lady at a previous concert who asked him to sing "The Happy Enchilada". He went on to explain he didn't have a song titled that. That's when she sang the lyrics. He then knew the song she was talking about.

Bad Grammar in Song Lyrics:

"Saddle in the Rain"
The Lyrics:
Try spending the night sometime
All alone in a frozen room
Afterneath you've lain
Your saddle in the rain
