Written 2004, Nashville, TN, to January 28th 2018, Lafayette, Louisiana

lyrics

It wasn't I
Who made it so
A field of weeds
You chose to grow

The hows and whys
I do not know
It wasn't I
Who made it so

Out in my barn
My dairy maid
A vat of cream
With churn hath made

I treat her well
Not like a slave
If the truth I tell
My health she saved

The olive tree
Out in the grove
Down by the sea
Is decades old

It's fruit is green
It's taste is bold
Much wealth it brings
By the thousand sold
