Subject: RE: We don't need a WalMart
Sorry Joe

Wasn't sure if I should include the lyrics for what might be a 'one-off' request. Btw there's no 't' in 'Ulbrich'

I also found some background info on the song:

"Bob and I (Carla) were scheduled to play in my hometown of Clemson, SC. I had casually mentioned to my Dad that I might try to learn some appropriate songs for the ongoing struggle in Clemson against Wal-Mart, who is trying to build in a residential area of Clemson against the citizens' wishes. Well, Dad told people I would be doing anti-Wal-Mart songs, and I had only found one song. So I proceeded to write one of my own, the night before the concert. bob put music to it 10 minutes before the conncert. We liked it so much we recorded it 3 days later in Mike's basement when we were gigging together in Nashville."

You can also download an MP3 of the songhere
