Annotation
Red Dirt Girl (Harris, Emmylou) Country pop. Post-war. Reference to a woman's brother who died in Vietnam "Two red dirt girls in a red dirt town Me and Lillian, just across the line And a little south-east of Meridian She loved her brother I remember back when He was fixin' up a '49 Indian He told her, Little sister, going to ride the wind Up around the moon and back again He never got farther than Vietnam I was standing there with her When the telegram come for Lillian Now he's lying somewhere About a million miles from Meridian"
