lyrics
Ah the leaves are dry and dying
the air takes on a chill
the shadowed clouds are gathering now
upon that hallowed hill
the specter of the working man’s savior
is a bold and a boisterous lie
and everyone wants to be Jesus Christ
but nobody wants to die
don’t you ever trust an oil man
he wears a suit and tie
an oil man will destroy your land
and he’ll drink your blood like wine
and the brood of hate has sprouted wings
they take their wicked flight
they shine their claws and they sharpen their jaws
the scapegoat dies tonight
their’s a monster in the white house
and he’s doing his very best
to bonify his bankroll
and to hide his hollow breast
three hundred million prisoners
from sea to shining sea
the devil hides in a child’s eyes
and he has your sympathy
Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music.
This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall
Great choice of music, expertly played and sung. Nicely produced. I hope to see The Onlies live, asap. This is an album I listen to over and over. Karamogo

Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2020
