Come back baby
Please don't go
The way I love you, you'll never know
Come back baby
Let's talk it over
One more time

Sorry to hear about that loss.

I never saw Dave Van Ronk live, but knew many of his recordings. He was a solid performer in his genre, and he "mentored" people who became much better known than he was; how often does that happen in the music biz?

In any case, his songs were real and gritty and bespoke a lot of artistic integrity. He will be missed.
