about

This was co-written with long-time Richmond musician Clark Ball. The lyrics are all Clark (and pure Clark!). I took them and added a tune to it, and this is what happened! It's always reminded me of a sort of country version of The Monkees Auntie Grizelda. Maybe they were related?

She will make you bring her stuff
Then she says it's not enough
That's when things start getting rough
My wicked Aunt Lavinia

Always one in every crowd
Always talking way too loud
Makes a fellow mighty proud
My wicked Aunt Lavinia

She has many attributes, I bet
But I haven't seen any of 'em yet

If you think that life's a sin
And there's too much sufferin'
Got some news for you, my friend
My wicked Aunt Lavinia

Never likes to go to work
And that's not her only quirk
She thinks everyone's a jerk
My wicked Aunt Lavinia

She has lots of hills and bumps
Rolls, holes, spills, and lumps
Looks like she was made of stumps
My wicked Aunt Lavinia
