Mena's the small town in the Arkansas Ozarks where my father was raised, Joe. Emma Dusenberry also came from there, a great traditional singer discovered by the folks at the Commonwealth Labor School, folks like Lee Hayes, who very likely taught at least one of her songs to the other Weavers - namely "The Dodger Song."

Oh the candidate's a dodger, a well-known dodger,
The candidate's a dodger, and I'm a dodger, too.
He'll meet you and greet you, ask you for your vote,
But, look out, boys, he's a-dodgin' for your note!
We're all dodgin', dodgin', dodgin' dodgin',
Yes, we're all dodgin' out a way through the world.

And other similar verses. Neat song!

See you next week!

Sandy
