Your Favorite Hat

Ode To Billie Joe

It was the third of June, another sleepy, dusty Delta day. I was out choppin' cotton, and my brother was balin' hay. And at dinner time we stopped and walked back to the house to eat.

Mornin' Glory

Good mornin', mornin' glory. Good mornin', what's your story. Good mornin', where'd you spend the night. Where did your night dreams take you. . Sorry but I had to wake you.

Mississippi Delta

Marigolds and tangerines. And lots of rusty window screens. Funny Paper, fountain pen. And patchwork things to cover in. Puppy dogs and potpourri. Oh won't you come and live with me.

Lookin' In

Can't seem to settle down. Maybe I'll just hang around. But every time you pick me up. I guess I take you down. But here I am again. You'll take me back and then.
