Ozilline

[Intro]
He did, he observed Saturday as the Sabbath
What, what kind of faith does that make him?
He didn't have one
Oh, okay
He didn't believe in any one thing
He would go out on the street
And all the kids would play the, with a drum-like thing
Some, some kind of instrument, yeah
And, um, mama played the organ...

[Verse 1]
Oh Ozilline, the moon is almost full
And you don't need a torch light
To see into these woods
Now sister, bring the medicine
To keep you from decline
But it's the waxing and the waning
That's always on your mind

[Chorus]
I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline
I feel for you (Our pleasures would be doubled)
I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline
I feel for you (If I could call you mine)

[Verse 2]
As soon as the corn's in
The deer will come to feed
And when the berry ripens
The bird will come to eat
You build by the river
It's pretty but you'll pay
'Cause the springtime brings the flood plain
And your cutbank washes away

[Chorus]
I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline
I feel for you (Our pleasures would be doubled)
I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline
I feel for you (If I could call you mine)

[Verse 3]
And I had to put the dog down
Before I hit the road
Yeah, I watched that sweet old life
Become a bag of bones
So when you're body's broken
And your heart wants to give in
And you hear that hoot owl callin'
Just like she was a friend

[Chorus]
I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline
I feel for you (Our pleasures would be doubled)
I said, oh (Oh) Ozilline
I feel for you (If I could call you mine)

[Outro]
I said, Ozilline, she don't let you cry
If you ask her where it hurts
I said, Ozilline, she don't let you cry
If you ask her where it hurts
She said what a blessed sky
