lyrics

Old E. Cross

Down on Old E. Cross Street I wanna go and see
the place where I went to meet my own true love
I hope you’re gonna be there, we’ll drink and play and sing there,
and sit and do nothin’ ‘neath the moon above.

I don’t know where we’re all gonna go
But we got us all here right down by the Depot
Down on Old E. Cross Street
all our friends meet
Near where the Huron River runs.

On a Sabbath day moseyin’ by a storefront closing,
looks like we’re losing another one
Don’t know nothin’ ‘bout the future but we act like we do sir
And the dogs all get to howlin’ ‘fore the train even comes

(chorus)

The crops all grow together, living by the weather,
by the time the bitter winter has begun
All dead by December, some are gone forever,
and some’ll turn green again in the sun.

(chorus)
