Okay, okay, khandu. But the last time I tried to do lyrics the lines would not seperate so I'm a tad concerned they'rte just gonna get like that agin...

"Arthur and Sally"

In the backwoods of Spotsylvania
A grave site can be found
Rustin' iron gate and two carved stones
Read "Arthur and Sally Brown"

Chorus:

Now, Arthur and Sally
Back in the pines
Share croppin' teneats
With dreams on their mins
Now, We ain't talkin' no trips to China
No mansion on the hill
Just forty acres of Virgina soil
And a little corn liquer still

Yeah, the corn grew full and oh so tall
And the wood did Arthur split
But not outside the kitchen
But down by the crick

With the crops all in
He'd be back in the woods
Smoke snakin' thru the oak
Brewin' shine that'd find it's time
On tables of city folk

Chorus

Now they're liein' over on yonder ridge
Been there since '33
And since... there ain't been no shine so fine
in this old county

Yeah, they're liein' over on yonder ridge
Been there since '33
And since... there ain't been no shine so fine
In Spotsylvanee
Yeah, this old county

Chorus


The song is based on a real cemetary that I indeed found back in the woods in Spotslyvania County and my son, Ben, and I are the only folks that I know of who can find it. I go once a year, take a rake, lopping sheres and a saw and clean it up. It kills off an entire day since its a 2 hour drive down there and another hour walk thru some of the thickest woods.
