U.S. Knitting - Momus[00:00:00]
Mary Beth is living in a world of her own[00:00:08]
Sitting in the schoolhouse[00:00:12]
She sews all day with twine[00:00:14]
Making up a picture making up a song[00:00:17]
Some people say she's unusual in the mind[00:00:21]
They say that she's unusual in the mind[00:00:25]
My name's Abe I run the general store[00:00:29]
Mary Beth's a strange one pretty in her way[00:00:42]
Sitting in the classroom a rocking and a swaying[00:00:46]
A Sewing and a knitting to the rhythms of the rain[00:00:50]
Stuff from what she's seen mixed[00:00:55]
With stuff from in her brain[00:00:57]
And some say that you'll see America in there[00:00:59]
Folks say you'll see America there[00:01:03]
One day I had a strange dream[00:01:16]
And Mary Beth was in it[00:01:18]
I dreamed I plucked a bunch of[00:01:20]
Flowers and went to make a visit[00:01:22]
I marched up to the schoolhouse[00:01:24]
And bent down on one knee[00:01:26]
Asked Mary Beth respectfully[00:01:28]
If she would marry me[00:01:30]
Asked Mary Beth if she would marry me[00:01:32]
I said 'My name's Abe I run the general store'[00:01:36]
Mary Beth gazed down from[00:01:49]
The chair where she was sitting[00:01:51]
Said 'Abraham I thank you [00:01:53]
And I will on one condition[00:01:55]
Change the name of the store[00:01:58]
You keep call it US Knitting[00:01:59]
And move it stone by stone to[00:02:02]
The top of Sugar Mountain[00:02:04]
Move that building up to the[00:02:06]
Top of Sugar Mountain[00:02:08]
We will rebuild the general store[00:02:11]
There we'll sell my samplers [00:02:23]
Make paintings and sing songs[00:02:25]
Wait for the Lion of Judah[00:02:27]
Who is rising like the sun[00:02:29]
Our pets will be the eagles [00:02:31]
Our crest a rampant bear[00:02:33]
And we will see the whole[00:02:36]
Of America from there[00:02:37]
Some of it is pretty and some is pretty queer[00:02:40]
But we'll see the whole of America there[00:02:44]
Mary Beth's proviso didn't seem so strange[00:03:05]
I told her That scenario is easily arranged[00:03:09]
We'll live on Sugar Mountain [00:03:14]
I'll bring my General Store[00:03:16]
We'll call it US Knitting and[00:03:18]
Sell samplers by the door[00:03:20]
Our pets will be the eagles [00:03:22]
And our crest a rampant bear[00:03:24]
And when the Lion of Judah roars a mighty roar[00:03:26]
We'll see the whole of America there[00:03:30]
