I'm not even sure this is the title. The local public radio station played a recording of James Keelaghan singing it, but I can't find out what recording it was.

First line or so: "The last time I saw him, he'd been swallowed by the wood; I'd have followed if I could. He'd have stayed had he wanted."

I really liked the tune (and it's about a town in Ohio; that is, Chilicothe), and would like to find the lyrics.

Can anyone help me?
