Ozilline

Lyrics

[Intro] He did, he observed Saturday as the Sabbath What, what kind of faith does that make him? He didn't have one Oh, okay He didn't believe in any one thing He would go out on the street And all the kids would play the, with a drum-like thing Some, some kind of instrument, yeah And, um, mama played the organ... [Verse 1] Oh Ozilline, the moon is almost full And you don't need a torch light To see into these woods Now sister, bring the medicine To keep you from decline But it's the waxing and the waning That's always on your mind [Chorus] I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline I feel for you (Our pleasures would be doubled) I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline I feel for you (If I could call you mine) [Verse 2] As soon as the corn's in The deer will come to feed And when the berry ripens The bird will come to eat You build by the river It's pretty but you'll pay 'Cause the springtime brings the flood plain And your cutbank washes away [Chorus] I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline I feel for you (Our pleasures would be doubled) I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline I feel for you (If I could call you mine) [Verse 3] And I had to put the dog down Before I hit the road Yeah, I watched that sweet old life Become a bag of bones So when you're body's broken And your heart wants to give in And you hear that hoot owl callin' Just like she was a friend [Chorus] I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline I feel for you (Our pleasures would be doubled) I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline I feel for you (If I could call you mine) [Outro] I said, Ozilline, she don't let you cry If you ask her where it hurts I said, Ozilline, she don't let you cry If you ask her where it hurts She said what a blessed sky
