"Johnsburg, Illinois" lyrics
"Johnsburg, Illinois"
She's my only true love
She's all that I think of
Look here in my wallet
That's her
She grew up on a farm there
There's a place on my arm
Where I've written
Her name next to mine
You see I just can't live without her
And I'm her only boy
And she grew up outside McHenry
In Johnsburg, Illinois

Lies all I sought in you
And when the wind just dies, when the wind just dies
And the dove won't rise
From your window sill
Well I cannot tell you
Which way...
Fairport Convention - "Reynardine" One evening as I rambled
Among the leaves so green
I overheard a young woman
Converse with Reynardine
Her hair was black, her eyes
Were blue, her lips as red as wine
And he smiled to gaze upon her...

I feel a stranger to all surprises
You can have them, I don't want them
I wear a different kind of garment
In my rehearsals for retirement
The lights are cold...
Townes Van Zandt - "Kathleen" It's plain to see, the sun won't shine today
But I ain't in the mood for sunshine anyway
Maybe I'll go insane
I got to stop the pain
Or maybe I'll go down to see Kathleen.
A swallow comes and tells...
Rhiannon Giddens - "The Angels Laid Him Away" Hey Mrs. Collins, ain't it hard
To see young Louis in that old graveyard
Angels laid him away
Mrs. Collins weeped, Mrs. Collins moaned
What made her son Louis leave his home
The angels laid him...
