Lyrics:
Country Pie [Version (a)]:
Just like old Saxophone Joe
When he's got the hogshead up on his toe
Oh me, oh my
I love that country pie
Listen to the fiddler play
When he's playin' 'til the break of day
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie
Raspberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
What do I care?
Blueberry, apple, cherry, lemon, pumpkin pie
Call me for dinner, honey, I'll be there
Saddle me up my big white goose
Tie me on her and turn me loose
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie
Don't need much, ain't no lie
Ain't runnin' any race
Give to me my country pie
I won't throw it up in everybody's face
Shake me up that old peach tree
Little Jack Horner's got nothin' on me
Oh me, oh my
I love that country pie
Just like old Saxophone Joe
When he's got the hogshead up on his toe
Oh me, oh my
I love that country pie
Listen to the fiddler play
When he's playin' 'til the break of day
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie
Love that country pie
Love that country pie
Just like old Saxophone Joe
When he's got the hogshead up on his toe
Oh me, oh my
I love that country pie
Listen to the fiddler play
When he's playin' 'til the break of day
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie
Raspberry, strawberry, lemon and lime
What do I care?
Blueberry, apple, cherry, lemon, pumpkin pie
Call me for dinner, honey, I'll be there
Saddle me up my big white goose
Tie me on her and turn me loose
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie
Don't need much, ain't no lie
Ain't runnin' any race
Give to me my country pie
I won't throw it up in everybody's face
Shake me up that old peach tree
Little Jack Horner's got nothin' on me
Oh me, oh my
I love that country pie
Just like old Saxophone Joe
When he's got the hogshead up on his toe
Oh me, oh my
I love that country pie
Listen to the fiddler play
When he's playin' 'til the break of day
Oh me, oh my
Love that country pie
Love that country pie
Love that country pie

Notes:
- Over the years, Beck has not covered as much Dylan as one might expect. However, they have many of the exact same influences (Hank Williams, blues, folk, etc.). They're cut of the same cloth, for sure.
Beck covered "Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat," for a covers album. Dylan himself asked Beck to do it. Dylan also has asked Beck to open a tour for him, but Beck had to turn him down because he was recording. He did open one show for Dylan in 1997, and shared a bill at a festival once in 1994. Also Dylan spun "Devils Haircut" once on his radio show! :)
Live, Beck covered "Blowin' In The Wind and "Idiot Wind". Also, at that festival mentioned last paragraph, Beck played this.
Also, an old home tape, Beck + Dava, has some Dylan covers, all from Nashville Skyline: "Country Pie," "Tell Me That It Isn't True," and "I Threw It All Away."
