Annotation
There are 3 known takes recorded at the same session, they can be distinguished as follows:
Take 1 (alternate): Harmony vocal comes in late (after the first "Stealin', stealin'"); around 1:50, the lead vocalist stumbles over the lyrics ("She come - married woman come to see me sometimes"; ends immediately after the final vocal chorus
Take 2 (master): Ends with a short (2 bar) harmonica tag
Take 3 (alternate): In the first verse, the lead vocalist sings "...like my other rider done" (instead of "easy rider"); ends with an 8 bar harmonica/kazoo tag
