oh ozilline
 the moon is almost full
 and you don't need a torchlight
 to see into these woods
 now sister bring the medicine
 to keep you from decline
 but it's the waxing and the waining
 that's always on your mind

 i said oh ozilline
 (oh ozilline)
 i feel for you
 i said oh ozilline
 (oh ozilline)
 i feel for you

 as soon as the corn's in
 the deer will come to feed
 and when the berry ripens
 the bird will come to eat
 you build by the river
 it's pretty but you'll pay
 'cause the springtime brings the flood plain
 and your cutbank washes away

 i said oh ozilline
 (oh ozilline)
 i feel for you
 i said oh ozilline
 (oh ozilline)
 i feel for you

 i had to put the dog down
 before i hit the road
 yeah i watched that sweet old life
 become a bag of bones
 so when you're body's broken
 and your heart wants to give in
 and you hear that hoot owl callin'
 just like she was a friend

 i said oh ozilline
 (oh ozilline)
 i feel for you
 i said oh ozilline
 (oh ozilline)
 i feel for you

 i said ozilline she don't let you cry
 if you ask her where it hurts
 i said ozilline she don't let you cry
 if you ask her where it hurts
 she said what a blessed sky
