von Van Dyke Parks

Our lowly liquor
Lobby longs to back a road
To old time songs.

Biblebelts worn from here
And after all were
Born in the know.


So rally round awhile
Jim Crow for I thought
I′d like to show
They can recall
The Alamo way down
In old Mexico.

I left Academia
Amid sixty-two.
Was it sixty-one scholar
Was cooled from the U.
Doubtless more on sore
Wing than prayer
I up and just withdrew
To the wander round there.
