I have posted the demo of a new song, Ketchikan, over at the Sea of Tuscumbia. An hymn. This one will be recorded by either the Blackberry County Line or Burnpile folks soon.


It is Christmas here too.

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you
Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I love your daughter
Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I'm bound to leave you
Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri.

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you,
Away, you rolling river
Oh, Shenandoah, I long to see you
Away, I'm bound away, cross the wide Missouri.

Odetta
rest in peace

(This performance of Waterboy is one of the most powerful things these eyes, these ears have beheld.)
