LIVING IN LIVE OAK

“Living in Live Oak”

By Frank Ellsworth Lockwood

(To rhythm of Satin Doll)

VS 1
Living in Live Oak
You know it’s funny
Those incredible live oaks “
They still remain

VS 2
Mistletoe loaded
All parasitic
Those live oaks
Penetrated my brain

Chorus
Well if you’re living in Live oak
You’d better not leave it
Cause if you do leave it
You’re surely insane

VS 3
Loving in Live Oak
Under those big trees
Christmas tree kissing
Beneath the mistletoe wreath

Ending
Da, da da, da da
Da, da da
D,a da da,
Daaa, da da, dee.

Note: Deaf guitarist/songwriter Frank Ellsworth Lockwood grew up in the Live Oak District of Santa Cruz, California.

The Sandy Cove Boy

I am a native son

Of Santa Cruz, California.

Sadly, I left the coves 

In my youth but ... 

The breakers are still in my blood.

I have wilted in deserts,

And chilled in snowy hills, 

Yet my core I will always be .. 

A Sandy Cove boy. (FEL)
