"Can you tell me where my country lies?" 

said the unifaun to his true love's eyes.

"Let us be lovers,

We'll marry our fortunes together.

I've got some real estate 

Here in my bag."

So we bought a pack of cigarettes,

And Mrs Wagner's pies.

And walked off to look for America.

 

"Kathy " I said ,

As we boarded a Grayhound in Pittsburgh, 

"Michigan seems like a dream to me now. 

It took me four days

To hitchhike from Saginow

I've come to look for America.

I kept a ribbon from your hair, a breath of perfume lingers there. It helps to cheer me when I’m blue. Anything that's part of you.

Brother John saw visions of god

So they put him in chains

For acting too odd

As the crowd shouted, off with his head

The priest said have mercy lets burn him instead.

Meanwhile back in some secluded spot He says 'will you please?' and she says 'stop' If I ever lose this good thing that I've got I never want to hear the song you dedicated tonight Cause I knew that song so long before we met That it means much more than it might

Well, I could write a million songs about the things I've done

But I could never sing them so they'd never get sung

There's a law for the rich and one for the poor

There's another one for singers

It's die young and live much longer

Spend your money and sit and wonder

Oh sister when i come

To knock on your door

Don't turm away

You'll create sorrow...

But where do you go to my lovely
When you're alone in your bed
Tell me the thoughts that surround you
I want to look inside your head, yes i do.

She won't even let me explain

That me and Kevin we're just not the same

The sky is cryin', look at the tears roll down the street

Oxford Town, Oxford Town

Ev’rybody’s got their heads bowed down
The sun don’t shine above the ground
Ain’t a-goin’ down to Oxford Town

 

He went down to Oxford Town
Guns and clubs followed him down
All because his face was brown
Better get away from Oxford Town

 

Oxford Town around the bend
He come in to the door, he couldn’t get in
All because of the color of his skin
What do you think about that, my frien’?

 

Me and my gal, my gal’s son
We got met with a tear gas bomb
I don’t even know why we come
Goin’ back where we come from

 

Oxford Town in the afternoon
Ev’rybody singin’ a sorrowful tune
Two men died ’neath the Mississippi moon
Somebody better investigate soon

 

Oxford Town, Oxford Town
Ev’rybody’s got their heads bowed down
The sun don’t shine above the ground
Ain’t a-goin’ down to Oxford Town

 

 ......................................................
 
I just love the way he bends the lyric 'Goin' back where we come from'. A brilliantly spare song. G

Woke up, fell out of bed Dragged a comb across my head Found my way downstairs and drank a cup And looking up, I noticed I was late Found my coat and grabbed my hat Made the bus in seconds flat Found my way upstairs and had a smoke And somebody spoke and I went into a dream
