All that time I'd left it behind,
but today I had no choice.
And I know the words by heart
An elegy was a fait accompli
But I didn't know where to start
Preacher, teacher, snake and the man
Mathematician with a banjo hand
Crimson and clover on a hillside bright
I wonder where you are to
We roamed it wide, you left us behind
Crossing creeks on the shaking stones
But your whirlwind rhymes
and your turtle -wise mind
Light the way when I travel alone
It's sadness, yes, and madness too
But they both look the glorious kind
Before I go, I want you to know
You were always on my mind
Mathematician with a banjo hand
Crimson and clover on a hillside bride
I wonder where you are tonight
Preacher, teacher, snake handling man
Mathematician with a banjo hand
Crimson and clover at the west side, why,
I wonder where you are tonight.
Crimson and clover on a hillside bright,
I wonder where you are tonight.
