about

Poison Oak from "Live on Tape."

lyrics

Poison Oak Darlin'
I know where you've been
Marking off boxes on your checklist of sin
Your father ought to have his old head busted in
For raising you up like he did

Cause you know your baby
She is sick and she's thin
Yellow with jaundice all over her skin
I'd like to build a big fire and throw your mother right in
For raising you up how she did

But I know my blood when I taste it
And hey Poison Oak your alright
So buckle up little Virginia
And drive til the end of the day

You wear a suede hat with a fiery brim
beat cotton dry of each droplet within
Oughta round up your lovers and all of your kin
For letting you go on like you do

But I know deep down that your heart is pure gold
And someday you'll buy back all them things that you sold
One day you wont look so broken and old
And you'll think of the good of your kid

Cause I know my blood when I'm blinded
And hey Poison Oak your alright
So tuck in your little Virginia
And sleep til the end of the night

Poison Oak Darlin'
I know where you've been
Marking off boxes on your checklist of sin
Your father ought to have his old head busted in
For raising you up like he did

“The Keener Family’s rich melodies float languorously atop warm guitars and strings heavy with reverb— When Christopher and Aubrey Ann sing together they sound like Bill Callahan and Emmy Lou Harris”
