July American Murder Song

Summer came down with Ohio Fever
Ohio Fever
Summer came down

Farm took to fits
But I couldn't leave her
I couldn't leave her
Summer came down

Black in the cotton and rot in the lamb
Ash in the windows
Ash on the land
Summer got spooked
Went yellow and ran

We ain't going nowhere
We ain't going, going nowhere

They filled her head with Ohio Fever
Ohio Fever
They filled her head
Wife rattled nonsense
The children believed her
Children believed her
They filled her head
