Annotation
Blues Grass Love (Thomas, Mike) Song-poem. Garage rock. Florida, USA. (partial MP3) "In the bright moonlight on a Kentucky night In the blue grass fields, south of Louisville Hopes spring enternal in young lovers hearts Along with the wish that they never part But young love is always blind, that's why they Never find the evil war that will come one day And take the young man far away He'll leave his girl in the blue grass fields Just south of Louisville...."
