When you’re walking in the city, And you’re feeling rather small, And the people on the sidewalk, Seem to form a solid wall You’re gonna find me, out in the country, Hey, you’re gonna find me, way out in the country, Where the air is good, and the day is fine, And the pretty girl, has a hand in mine, And the silver stream, is a poor man’s wine, In the country, in the country Markley/Harris. Cliff Richard ---

Now my daddy was a music lovin’ man, He stood six-foot-seven, had big ol’ hands, He’d lost two fingers in a chainsaw – but he could still play the violin! And Mom played piana, just the keys in the middle, And Dad played a storm on his three-fingered fiddle, 'Cause that’s all there was to do back there, folks, except ta go downtown and watch haircuts. _Audubon_ – C.
