to Angelica and Tom
Listening, summer finally, to a new singer
Sing an old song, first heard when
The world was young
Everything was morning
Friend brought that song a long way
Played through an apparatus
No one then yet knew
Friend to me and to you
Sing an old song, first heard when
The world was young
Everything was morning
Friend brought that song a long way
Played through an apparatus
No one then yet knew
Friend to me and to you
Then we sat there listening
Thought of other friend on porch
That song was heard together
In a dream almost now it seems

Thanks for this one, Vincent, it's really sweet.
(By the by, folks, that's Jo, sitting on the porch. And a simple click on the image will reveal her porch companion, Art, the friendly curator of the Mississippi John Hurt Museum.)
