about

Written while walking along my friend Dawn's bog in Cropper, KY

lyrics

Trompin my way thru the mushroom
Field on my way to see Dawns bog
Trompin my way thru the mushroom
Field on my way to see Dawns bog

Birdsong overhead, crunching on the
Ground now the corn is all dead
Birdsong overhead, crunching on the
ground, fine affair we've had, now
That the corn is all dead

A true lady wears the sunlight well
And she genuflects in clover
Her knees are bare to stone ground
Where mosses grow, and ferns collect
To spout off like dilettantes

A gentleman escorts the shadows from
Her face and swears to the rock audience
'The view is finer, and acoustics great-
just over there.'

Trompin my way thru the mushroom
Field on my way to see Dawn's bog
Trompin my way thru the mushroom
Field on my way to see Dawn's bog

Came across a little bone, musta been
The shin of an awfully young fawn
Said i came across a bone, musta been
the shin, til i had to stop- cus i was in
A skeleton field, a skeleton field

Mayapples bloomed between the ribs
Of a coyote in the clearing
Them shoots was greener than gold,
And gold enough for me to say to you
They were yellow

I looked the other way, the rest of my
Young fawn was posed upon a carpet
Of spring beauties, pink and white
Blooms that appear, first sign of spring,
So delicate, in rugged Kentucky

Trompin my way thru the mushroom
Field on my way to see Dawns bog
Trompin my wat thru the mushroom
Field on my way to see Dawns bog

And the grackles fly, fly on up ahead
So darn glad to be back home again
After such a long fly, such a long fly
Grackles fly, fly on up ahead,
So darn glad to be back home again
After such a long fly, such a long fly
