I'm new to this thread stuff, but I thought it was a way to share my love of Craig Johnson's songwriting. Of course I have all of Art Thieme's LP's being an original Manitowoc Folkie, but I'm searching for the words to the song I believe penned by Craig Johnson. It's a parody of Billy Boy and includes the "spends her spare time with her snowmobile throttle." Art covered it sometime and I thought I had a tape from a Simply Folk show... can't find it... aughhh.

Until then I'm amusing myself with one I did write out awhile ago:

Tittabawassee Jane by Craig Johnson

I met her in Midland Michigan, it was a quarter of a century ago.
She loved me down at the edge of town, where the Tittabawassee flowed.

Chorus
She?s my Tittabawassee Jane?s her name, Tittabawassee Jane
The river there must be named after her, she?s my Tittabawassee Jane

Well she worked at the Midland Chemical plant, I waited for her shift to end.

She made Napalm or some kind of bomb, but I wasn?t too political then. (Chorus)


Well the air it smelt like kerosene, or whatever else Dow pumped out.
And the river was laced with lumps of waste called Tittabawassee trout. (Chorus)


Well I haven?t been back for twenty five years, but the company magazine
Says the air smells fresh in Midland Mich and the Tittabawassee?s clean.
Now I ain?t going to tell you what to believe, but Dow?s been known to lie,
And I don?t care what they do to the air, but the Tittabawassee?s mine. (Chorus)
