      OZILLINE    (A. Ray)

strum a D chord before you start singing.

D
Oh Ozilline, the moon is almost full
              G
And you don't need a torch light
                          D
To see into these woods
D
Sister, bring the medicine
To keep you from decline,
      G
But it's the waxing and the waning
                             D
That's always on your mind. 

C                  G         D
Oh Ozilline, I feel for you.

D
As soon as the corn's in,
The deer will come to feed.
G
When the berry ripens,
                             D
The bird will come to eat.
D
Build by the river,
Its pretty but you'll pay,
G   
'Cause the springtime brings the flood plain
                                   D
Or your cutbank washes away. 

C                  G          D
Oh Ozilline, I feel for you. 

I had to put the dog down,
Before I hit the road,
I watched that sweet old life
Become a bag of bones. 

When your body's broken
And your heart wants to give in,
And you hear that hoot owl callin'
Just like she was a friend. 

Oh Ozilline, I feel for you.
