If Anyone Asks How Old I Am,

I'm Always Making Butcher Holler Sound Like The Most Backward Part Of The United States-and I Think Maybe It Is.

Daddy Was Real Gentle With Kids. That's Why I Expected So Much Out Of Marriage, Figuring That All Men Should Be Steady And Pleasant.

I Know There's Some Kind Of History To Mountain Music-like It Came From Ireland Or England Or Scotland And We Kept Up The Tradition.

I Don't Like To Talk About Things Where You're Going To Gt One Side Or The Other Unhappy. My Music Has No Politics.

I Don't Know What It's Like For A Book Writer Or A Doctor Or A Teacher As They Work To Get Established In Their Jobs, But For A Singer, You've Got To Continue To Grow Or Else You're Just Like Last Night's Cornbread...stale And Dry.
