DDollard Marlowe doesn’t live on the GKaywood Road anymDore
They took him to the CCity to a government old age Ahome
DAll of us eventually will wGither and grow Dold
Dollard Marlowe dCoesn’t live on the Kaywood Road anyDmore
DThe wood pile by the back shed, the Gwork of his withered Dhands
Home built of Clocal pine, when he was a young Aman
NDow they got him in that city compound ‘Gtil he breathes no Dmore
I wonder if he’d Crather die along the Kaywood DRoadD7  
Last sumGmer, Dollard shared a pot of CStag Creek country Gtea
He Dpoured himself a shaky cup, then one for Billy and Ame
In Gleaving, we promised him we’d cDome again for sure
But Dollard Marlowe Cdoesn’t live on the Kaywood Road anyDmore
DProgress teaches all of us, Gwe must pay its Dprice
Electric lights are Cpractical, but a lantern sure is Anice
Don’t truDst your neighbour out of fear that Ghe might get you Dfirst
And don’t dare die unCtil you’ve checked with the city officials DfirstD7  
GDollard now is crying out for the Conly life he knGows
DCursing modern progress that took away his Ahome
But oGne day soon his soul will come back Dto that cabin door
And stare upon the Cpavement they’ve laid on the Kaywood DRoad
No, DoDllard Marlowe Cdoesn’t live on that dusty road anyDmore
