Song | U.S. Knitting |

Album | Folktronic |
作词 : Currie | |
Mary-Beth is living in a world of her own | |
Sitting in the schoolhouse she sews all day with twine | |
Making up a picture, making up a song | |
Some people say she's unusual in the mind | |
They say that she's unusual in the mind | |
My name's Abe, I run the general store | |
Mary-Beth's a strange one, pretty in her way | |
Sitting in the classroom, a-rocking and a-swaying | |
A-Sewing and a-knitting to the rhythms of the rain | |
Stuff from what she's seen mixed with stuff from in her brain | |
And some say that you'll see America in there | |
Folks say you'll see America there | |
One day I had a strange dream and Mary Beth was in it | |
I dreamed I plucked a bunch of flowers and went to make a visit | |
I marched up to the schoolhouse and bent down on one knee | |
Asked Mary-Beth respectfully if she would marry me | |
Asked Mary-Beth if she would marry me | |
I said 'My name's Abe, I run the general store' | |
Mary-Beth gazed down from the chair where she was sitting | |
Said 'Abraham I thank you, and I will, on one condition | |
Change the name of the store you keep, call it US Knitting | |
And move it stone by stone to the top of Sugar Mountain | |
Move that building up to the top of Sugar Mountain | |
We will rebuild the general store | |
'There we'll sell my samplers, make paintings and sing songs | |
Wait for the Lion of Judah who is rising like the sun | |
Our pets will be the eagles, our crest a rampant bear | |
And we will see the whole of America from there | |
Some of it is pretty, and some is pretty queer | |
But we'll see the whole of America there' | |
Mary-Beth's proviso didn't seem so strange | |
I told her 'That scenario is easily arranged | |
We'll live on Sugar Mountain, I'll bring my General Store | |
We'll call it US Knitting and sell samplers by the door | |
Our pets will be the eagles, and our crest a rampant bear | |
And when the Lion of Judah roars a mighty roar | |
We'll see the whole of America there' |
