The name “Vestapol” comes from a song notably recorded by North Carolina folk legend Elizabeth Cotten. That song itself probably has its roots in the 1855 Siege of Sevastopol in the Crimean War.
Yeah, down, down in Houston, child
No, nobody in the sundown
Oh, down, down in Dallas, child
I walked down and I'm with my thumb out
Do I need somebody to make me feel like someone?
Yeah, time, there will be time, child
When all you want is to know somebody
So go, take your own way, child
Beware the times when you get alone
Knowing somebody don’t come cheap no more
And still somebody calls a tune
And they bade the fiddler play
In that raggy old way
Aw, don't mind me, gal
I just don't know myself
But I’m paid to please
Yes, oh, it's a ruin, child
Some sweet cherry blossom with the screw cap on
Ah, Vestapol is where I'm bound
Yeah, how hard is it to trust someone?
Do I need somebody to make me feel like someone?
Vestapol (Is Where I’m Bound) was written by M.C. Taylor.
