01. The Beginning

1919: The Ballad of Rexford
by Mark Lee Townsend



 

So many miles of country
we have crossed
just to find we’ve landed here
We can’t dwell on friends
or family we have left
when we married by midyear
And the days are close…
but the nights will be much
cooler where we lay and
I love you dear
Yes, we are young and acting
on our hearts but it’s here
we’ll settle down
With an honest job and
wages
where it starts and a house
South end of town
And the days are close…
but a break or two will
get us on our way
We’ll be happy here
and I love you dear

MLT-banjo, acoustic, mandolin, bells, bass drum, tambourine, shaker, hammond organ, vocals Laura Sink-violin Suzanne Townsend- vocal
