July |
| Summer came down with Ohio Fever |
| Ohio Fever |
| Summer came down |
| Farm took to fits |
| But I couldn’t leave her |
| I couldn’t leave her |
| Summer came down |
| Black in the cotton and rot in the lamb |
| Ash in the windows |
| Ash on the land |
| Summer got spooked |
| Went yellow and ran |
| We ain’t going nowhere |
| We ain’t going, going nowhere |
| They filled her head with Ohio Fever |
| Ohio Fever |
| They filled her head |
| Wife rattled nonsense |
| The children believed her |
| Children believed her |
| They filled her head |
| Beggared, the neighbors, like injuns, they fled |
| Emptied the streets |
| Emptied their beds |
| Emptied the pews |
| And left Hampshire for dead |
| We ain’t going nowhere |
| We ain’t going, going nowhere |
| Wagons, wagons |
| Wheels, wheels |
| West, West, West, West |
| Wagons, wagons |
| Wheels, wheels |
| West, West, West, West |
| Wagons, wagons |
| Wheels, wheels |
| West, West, West, West |
| Wagons, wagons |
| Wheels, wheels |
| West, West, West, West |
| Wife lashed her tongue with Ohio Fever |
| Ohio Fever |
| Wife lashed her tongue |
| Rags in her mouth |
| But I couldn’t save her |
| I couldn’t save her |
| Wife lashed her tongue |
| Upstairs, the children awoke with a shrill |
| Cries borne of devils |
| Cries of the ill |
| Cries under pillows |
| Smothered, then still |
| You ain’t going nowhere |
| You ain’t going, going nowhere |
| I shot a gun full of Ohio Fever |
| Ohio Fever |
| I shot a gun |
| I prayed a moment |
| But I didn’t grieve her |
| I didn’t grieve her |
| I shot a gun |
| Outside the tree coughed up blood |
| 'Stead of leaves |
| Coughs from the floorboards |
| Coughs from the eaves |
| I climbed the coughing tree |
| Noose at my sleeves |
| I ain’t going nowhere |
| I ain’t going, going nowhere |
| Wagons, wagons |
| Wheels, wheels |
| West, West, West, West |
| Wagons, wagons |
| Wheels, wheels |
| West, West, West, West |
| Wagons, wagons |
| Wheels, wheels |
| West, West, West, West |
| Wagons, wagons |
| Wheels, wheels |
| West, West, West, West |
