Oxbow Orchard

Verse 1

Down along the canal in Valley View

The Cuyahoga bends and curls

Long before the water cut its line

A people walked this world

They fished these banks and raised their young

Where the crooked river ran

Nobody writes it down

But the valley holds the plan

Chorus

Can you hear the drums still drumming

Can you hear them in the pines

Can you hear the drums still drumming

Through the years and through the time

Let them beat inside your mind

Let them beat inside your mind

Verse 2

Right across from Oxbow Orchard

Stand still and take it slow

Where Washers used to sell their corn

And pumpkins in a row

There's a mound up on the ridge

Quiet as a prayer

Folks drive by it every day

And never know it's there

Chorus

Can you hear the drums still drumming

Can you hear them in the pines

Can you hear the drums still drumming

Through the years and through the time

Let them beat inside your mind

Let them beat inside your mind

Verse 3

Now every summer month or so

They pick and bow and sing

Bluegrass rolling off the porch

Like it was always meant to ring

And there's a girl who works the stand

Friendly as the day is long

She'll take the time to talk to you

Like you already belong

Bridge

Corn and pumpkins

Drums and strings

Old and new

The valley sings

Chorus

Can you hear the drums still drumming

Can you hear them in the pines

Can you hear the drums still drumming

Through the years and through the time

Let them beat inside your mind

Let them beat inside your mind

Outro

Everyone is welcome here

Come and sit a while

Everyone is welcome here

Down the crooked mile
