I debuted this song at the BSA Festival in October - dedicated to the unsung heroes amongst us who silently and stoically bear their lot, they are truly folk of oak, though we create our own invisible prisons we often find ourselves pushed down life's slippery slope...Guitar: C&T, Marshall acoustic amp, Roland SPD-6 Pad, Hohner Violin Bass copy.FOLK OF OAKA MAN WHO WENT TO HIS WORK HIS WAYIN ALL THAT TIME NEVER MISSED A DAYHE STAYED THERE SOLID AS A TREEA PILLAR OF THE COMMUNITY.CHORUS: THEY'RE FOLK.......FOLK OF OAK THEY'RE FOLK.......FOLK OF OAK.A SOLDIER MARCHED THROUGH THE HOT TERRAINMAY NEVER USE HIS LEGS AGAINAN I.E.D. NEARLY TOOK HIS LIFEBUT BACK IN ENGLAND KILLED BY PAIN AND STRIFE.CHORUSTHE CARER ROSE FROM HER WEARY BEDHALF HOPING HUSBAND WAS LYING DEAD...BUT RIGHT ON TIME WITH HIS MASSAGE CREAMNO-ONE HEARS HER SILENT SCREAM.CHORUSSO LIVE AND WORK BE YOUR OWN SUPERSTARONE HUNDRED YEARS WON'T KNOW WHO YOU AREMAKE YOU MARK AND ENJOY YOUR LIFEKEEP WELL AWAY FROM THOSE WHO LIVE BY THE KNIFE.YOU'RE FOLK....FOLK OF OAKYOU'RE FOLK....FOLK OF OAK.Words and music Copyright Steve Trowbridge December 2013From forthcoming album "Folk of Oak"
