Lyrics Van Dyke Parks

Van Dyke Parks

Public Domain

Our lowly liquor

Lobby longs to back a road

To old time songs

Bible belts worn from here

And after all were

Born in the know

So rally round awhile

Jim Crow for I thought

I'd like to show

They can recall

The Alamo way down

In old Mexico

I left Academia

Amid sixty-two

Was it sixty-one scholar

Was cooled from the U

Doubtless more on sore

Wing than prayer

I up and just withdrew

To the wander round there
