FAWM: "Oh Rosalynn"

Oh Rosalynn

Liner Notes

A passive aggressive protest song

Lyrics

Where has America’s dignity gone? Oh Rosalynn Oh Rosalynn Torn away like an East Wing wall Oh Rosalynn Oh Rosalynn

We miss your sweet southern grace The quiet strength behind your face Oh Rosalynn Oh Rosalynn Oh Mrs. Carter

Is compassion for our brothers and sisters lost Oh Rosalynn Oh Rosalynn As the sell us fear through Christ on the cross Oh Rosalynn Oh Rosalynn

Red clay of Georgia beneath your skin You remembered who invited you in Oh Rosalynn Oh Rosalynn Oh Mrs. Carter

Are you walking among us Like a Christian Bodhisattva To ease our suffering To dry our tears Are you confiding to Jesus About the love that sustained you All those years And you shared with us And you gave to us Oh Rosalynn

Can America find peace and better days Oh Rosalynn Oh Rosalynn Can hope be found in prayer and a kinder way Oh Rosalynn Oh Rosalynn Oh Mrs. Carter

You had me from that opening guitar pattern, so beautiful. Love the line "Red clay of Georgia beneath your skin".

A touching tribute to a classy icon from days gone by. Strong presentation with very tasteful lyrics and very well done guitar. Let’s hope we will once again, someday, see this kind of class again.
