The Wonder Show of the World (all content belongs to Will Oldham and Emmett Kelly, released in 2010, on Drag City)

I once loved a girl,
but she couldn't take
that I visited troublesome houses.
She'd say,
when I got home,
to leave her alone.
She could taste
trouble on my mouth.

When she was gone
I missed her, I did...
and still went to troublesome places.
I couldn't withstand a glorious day
without seeing these troublesome faces.

And quiet eluded me,
and keeps from me still,
though I need my own bed and it's solace.
Day's noises steal in
and copper my will,
and I face the evils that follow us.

I once had a house,
and my family knew
where to find me if ever they needed.
Troublesome houses
were foreign to them.
They thought all papa's orders I heeded.
Now they can't fnd me;
they don't have my numbers,
and just hear reports
of my doings.
Troublesome houses are not in their minds,
though it's in those I do all my moving.
