Greer Zoller, you make me holler
Blew me a kiss and I threw you a dollar
You had eyes like deep cool water
Greer Zoller, from the minute I saw her
Knew I had to have her, couldn’t help but want her
Well I fell in love and I never once faltered
But Greer Zoller had an angry father
He said "you stay away from my daughter”
And he made her sell the ring that I bought her
So Greer Zoller, she said “Tomorrow,
Meet me at midnight at old man Potter’s”
“We’ll run away and we'll marry each other”
Greer Zoller, can’t wait any longer
Gonna get married, move out by the water
Have a house and a family and no more sorrow
But Greer Zoller’s jealous father
Heard her moving out in the night and he caught her
Said “Ungrateful girl forgets what I taught her”
“She don’t deserve to be my daughter
“I brought her into the world and I'll take her outta”
Took her in the wild wild woods and he shot her
Greer Zoller
Greer Zoller, you make me holler
Blew me a kiss and I made you a martyr
You had eyes like pools of deep cold water
Greer Zoller

the counter rhythms and syncopations on "So Far Away" are worth the price of admission...
plover is masterful on every level... listen and share this one far and wide, folks...
I love each of them separately, and found my way here via Glen Phillips' other solo work...but together?! WOW!
How about a follow-up? ❤️ Geoffrey Gamble
