Lyrics U.S. Knitting - Momus
Mary-Beth
is
living
in
a
world
of
her
own
Sitting
in
the
schoolhouse
she
sews
all
day
with
twine
Making
up
a
picture,
making
up
a
song
Some
people
say
she's
unusual
in
the
mind
They
say
that
she's
unusual
in
the
mind
My
name's
Abe,
I
run
the
general
store
Mary-Beth's
a
strange
one,
pretty
in
her
way
Sitting
in
the
classroom,
a-rocking
and
a-swaying
A-Sewing
and
a-knitting
to
the
rhythms
of
the
rain
Stuff
from
what
she's
seen
mixed
with
stuff
from
in
her
brain
And
some
say
that
you'll
see
America
in
there
Folks
say
you'll
see
America
there
One
day
I
had
a
strange
dream
and
Mary
Beth
was
in
it
I
dreamed
I
plucked
a
bunch
of
flowers
and
went
to
make
a
visit
I
marched
up
to
the
schoolhouse
and
bent
down
on
one
knee
Asked
Mary-Beth
respectfully
if
she
would
marry
me
Asked
Mary-Beth
if
she
would
marry
me
I
said
'My
name's
Abe,
I
run
the
general
store'
Mary-Beth
gazed
down
from
the
chair
where
she
was
sitting
Said
'Abraham
I
thank
you,
and
I
will,
on
one
condition
Change
the
name
of
the
store
you
keep,
call
it
US
Knitting
And
move
it
stone
by
stone
to
the
top
of
Sugar
Mountain
Move
that
building
up
to
the
top
of
Sugar
Mountain
We
will
rebuild
the
general
store
'There
we'll
sell
my
samplers,
make
paintings
and
sing
songs
Wait
for
the
Lion
of
Judah
who
is
rising
like
the
sun
Our
pets
will
be
the
eagles,
our
crest
a
rampant
bear
And
we
will
see
the
whole
of
America
from
there
Some
of
it
is
pretty,
and
some
is
pretty
queer
But
we'll
see
the
whole
of
America
there'
Mary-Beth's
proviso
didn't
seem
so
strange
I
told
her
'That
scenario
is
easily
arranged
We'll
live
on
Sugar
Mountain,
I'll
bring
my
General
Store
We'll
call
it
US
Knitting
and
sell
samplers
by
the
door
Our
pets
will
be
the
eagles,
and
our
crest
a
rampant
bear
And
when
the
Lion
of
Judah
roars
a
mighty
roar
We'll
see
the
whole
of
America
there'
