Oh Ozilline Well, the moon is almost full And you don't need a torchlight To see into these woods And now sister bring the medicine To keep you from decline But it's the waxing and the waning That's always on your mind I said, oh Ozilline, I feel for you Our pleasures would be doubled I said, oh Ozilline, I feel for you If I could call your mind As soon as the corn's in Where the deer will come to feed Now when the berry ripens All those birds will come to eat And if you build by the river Where it is pretty but you'll pay Ah, 'cause the springtime brings the flood plain And your cut bank washes away I said, oh Ozilline, I feel for you
Our pleasures would be doubled I said, oh Ozilline, I feel for you If I could call your mind, yeah I had to put the dog down Before I hit the road Oh yeah, I watched that sweet old life Become a bag of bones So when you're body's broken And your heart wants to give in Oh, when you hear that hoot owl calling Just like she was a friend I said, oh Ozilline, I feel for you Our pleasures would be doubled I said, oh Ozilline, I feel for you If I could call your mind I said, Ozilline, she don't let you cry Ask her where it hurts Said, Ozilline, she don't let you cry Ask her where it hurts She says, what a blessed sky
