Third entry, with some local flavor. Fiction writer Clyde Edgerton wrote this nearly 30 years ago about a small town in my home county. The town's grown a bit more sophisticated since then. I hope. Your basic I,V,IV progression. This version's in C. Play along!
"Quiche Woman in a Barbecue Town" by Clyde Edgerton
1)Social worker from Boston on a trip to Caroline
Stopped in Apex for Beaujolais wine
It was a hasty decision but she liked the little town
She met the mayor … and settled down.
CHORUS)She’s a quiche woman in a barbecue town
There’s trucks and ticks and tobacco all around
She was Vassar cum laude several years ago
The adjustment … will be slow.
2)Her next-door neighbor Mrs. Billy Ray Burch
Shackled and chained her and dragged her to church
She found the town council related
And the local swimming pool … segregated.
CHORUS
3)She found that her husband liked to hunt quail
Deer, duck, and the little cotton tail
She said: Hey, where you been? What’s the reason?
He said: Hey, what do ya think? It’s huntin’ season!
CHORUS
4)They had a little girl, daddy taught her to hunt,
And plow, and fish, and chew tobacca once a month,
Things worked together for the good I hear tell
She went to school … at Cornell.
2nd CHORUS)She’s a barbecue woman in a quiche town
There’s city slickers, and yankees, and bankers all around
She just left Apex a couple days ago
The adjustment … will be slow.
