this is soooooooo relaxing

[alecg08]

There she be and she see me

Driftin' in my daggone dream

They throwed [throw at] my windows and doors

A century of misery

The rue of ruby whores

From the album SweetKorn. Unkie recorded it and played clarinet, antie singin in the background

[alecg08]

Over yonder in the briar patch The animal lives there in a hole And ne'er in the sun will stir But come the fall of evenin' grey [It] Leaps and jumps away Standin' on the mountain side Just tryin' to get a little taste o' rain My people used to live here And I feel the same as they do For I did dwell here too

[alecg08]

I woke up on a summer's day From dozin' on a bank of clay The hot and humid fog The splashin' of the water dog Lo come a war canoe And standing in the bow were you Tell me friend [if] have you got the time Where in this woods does grow the healin' vine And I was searchin' for my love Who used to live in the hills above And I don't live at all No never since my last downfall

[blarnach]

This is straight up good music!
