Roscoe |
| Stonecutters made them from stones |
| Chosen specially for you and I |
| Who will live inside |
| The mountaineers gathered timber |
| Piled high |
| In which to take along |
| Traveling many miles, knowing they’d get here |
| When they got here, all exhausted |
| On the roof leaks they got started |
| And now when the rain comes |
| We can be thankful |
| Ooh aah ooh |
| When the mountaineers |
| Saw that everything fit, they were |
| Glad and so they took off |
| Thought we were due for |
| A change or two |
| Around this place |
| When they get back they’re all mixed up with no one to stay with |
| The village used to be all one really needs |
| Now it’s filled with hundreds and hundreds of |
| Chemicals that mostly surround you |
| You wish to flee but it’s not like you |
| So listen to me, listen to me |
| Oh, oh, oh and when the morning comes |
| We will step outside |
| We will not find another man in sight |
| We like the newness, the newness of all |
| That has grown in our garden, struggling for so long |
| Whenever I was a child I wondered what if my name had changed into something |
| more productive like Roscoe |
| Been born in 1891 |
| Waiting with my Aunt Rosaline |
| Thought we were due for |
| A change or two |
| Around this place |
| When they get back they’re all mixed up with no one to stay with |
| They roamed around and foraged |
| They made their house from cedars |
| They made their house from stone |
| Oh, they’re a little like you, and |
| They’re a little like me |
| We have all we need |
| Thought we were due for |
| A change or two |
| Around this place |
| (This place) |
| (This place) |
| When they get back they’re all mixed up with no one to stay with |
| (When they get back they’re all mixed up with no one to stay with) |
