Description
What happens when American jobs get sent overseas... "Charlotte she found Billy, Underneath the stairs, Isabelle and Charlotte buried Billy, With nothing but a song and a prayer, Now Charlotte she sings: When the moon comes over the mountain, When the stars rise up above, When the sun sets low in the evening sky, Isabelle, this song is your daddy's love "
Lyrics
The Ballad of Charlotte and Billy Jim Dannemiller Houston, TX March 25, 2011 Billy he loved Charlotte They got married young A baby on the way Billy said to Charlotte "You're the one." Grease on those callused hands Billy worked hard every day He told Charlotte not to worry The sun was finally here to stay When sweet Isabelle was born Billy walked for days on clouds He sang Isabelle to sleep each night While Charlotte spread her kisses all around He sang: “When the moon comes over the mountain When the stars rise up above When the sun sets low in the evening sky Isabelle, you are your daddy's love” One day the jobs up and left Out of work Billy fell to his knees How's a man supposed feed his family When all our jobs go overseas Charlotte I feel like I'm falling My days are black as coal I can't compete with those distant slaves Feel like I'm stuck inside this hole Charlotte she found Billy Underneath the stairs Isabelle and Charlotte buried Billy With nothing but a song and a prayer Now Charlotte she sings: When the moon comes over the mountain When the stars rise up above When the sun sets low in the evening sky Isabelle, this song is your daddy's love When the moon comes over the mountain When the stars rise up above When the sun sets low in the evening sky Isabelle, this song is your daddy's love
