MY FAMILY OWNS THIS TOWN

[I transcribed this from a sound sample:]

…My family owns this town; they built the mill.

I will run this town when Daddy's gone.
I could run it now, the truth be known.
I'm not in any hurry.
Life is too short to have worries.
A man of leisure, I will have my fun,
But I will run this town when Daddy's gone.

[And this quote comes from the review (see GUEST's link above):]

I dealt with poor Delia in my own way.
I drowned her in the river.
I just could not forgive her.
Her suicide was all the news next day.
But the boy ran off before I could make him pay.

[As sung by David Olney on "High, Wide and Lonesome," Philo, 1995.]
