Al Duvall - Saxonburg Ohio Lyrics

Have you heard about the sad affair of Lydia Dupree?
The postman showed her letters to the ladies after tea
She was of a certain age when a woman sheds the guise
Of venereal indifference to remarks and winking eyes
Seems a cook came off a riverboat and met her for a date
And he gave to her a child who would face a bastard’s fate
When they offered their condolences she rudely slammed her gate

And they cry, "Oh
What’s become of decency in Saxonburg, Ohio?"

There were several other incidents unspeakable and foul:
Mr. Baxter took a megaphone and held it to his bowel
Mrs. Cole put on her furs and resided in a tree
And the baker filled his crullers with all manner of debris
When they find the deacon naked in a stable with a horse
They decide they’ve all been acted on by some malignant force
So they call upon a psychic to reveal the evil source

And they cry, "Oh
What’s possessed the gentlefolk of Saxonburg, Ohio?"

In a broken Conestoga off the Cincinnati Road
Squats a twisted old Melungeon with the features of a toad
And he moves his little dolls through his miniature town
But the sheriff swings his club and the spell is broken down
Then they beat him and they slice him as he stuggles in his chains
And the teacher lets the pupils stick their fingers in his brains
And they tinsel the gazebo with his skeletal remains
And they cry, "Oh
No one makes a mockery of Saxonburg, Ohio!"
