HISS GOLDEN MESSENGER
"As The Crow Flies"
(M.C. Taylor)

Vicksburg
Plaquemine
Issaquena, Rosedale, True Vine

21 years
As the crow flies
Watching the wheels roll backwards

Lucinda in the evening
Long-legged girl with a country way of speaking
Red apple moon
Oh, river, I'm gone - hey
Pull the needle and thread

Sing little bird
Sing for high summer
Don't get down
You're nothing but a number

Woodstock
Storm King
West Saugerties in the pouring rain
Rider Waite - low card
Walt Whitman Bridge, daylight be thy name
Rented rooms
Little shinbone child - was that you?
Blue horizon - late again
West Lafayette, babe
And tomorrow's a dream

Sing little bird
Sing for high summer
Don't get down
You're nothing but a number
