Tekst Utworu

On a past the Riley Fruit Farm in the country
And across the Gundy Hills to Chapin Holler
An old man lived alone like a prisoner serving
I'd never met a man like Albert Irvin
Albert never held a woman or a child
You could see that loneliness had drove him wild
He said, "I ain't seen a soul in three long years"
And down his lonely face came the tears
His house was built of logs and cardboard boxes
The boxes sealed the cracks in the wintertime
The floor in Albert's home was just the earth wore down
Where Albert Irvin's feet had walked around
Everything in Albert's house was made by hand
A picture carved in wood set on a stand
Such beauty in a face I'd never seen
Carved just below the picture, the name Kathleen
Albert held the picture close up to his face
Said, "My Kathleen adds beauty to this place"
I asked him who she was and came to tears
He said, "She's not real, she's just
Someone I've dreamed of all these years"
His house was built of logs and cardboard boxes
The boxes sealed the cracks in the wintertime
The floor in Albert's home was just the earth wore down
Where Albert's lonely feet had walked around
Where Albert Irvin's feet had walked around
