Oh, Ozilline, the moon is almost full
  And you don't need a torchlight to see into these woods
  Sister, bring the medicine to keep you from decline
  But it's the waxing and the waning that's always on your mind
  
  Oh, Ozilline, I feel for you
  (Pleasure's what they double)
  Oh, Ozilline, I feel for you
  (If I could call you mine)
  
  As soon as the corn's in, the deer will come to feed
  And when the berry ripens, the bird will come to eat
  Build by the river, it's pretty but you'll pay
  'Cause the springtime brings the floodplain or your cutbank washes away
  
  Oh, Ozilline, I feel for you
  (Pleasure's what they double)
  Oh, Ozilline, I feel for you
  (If I could call you mine)
  
  I had to put the dog down before I hit the road
  I watched that sweet old life become a bag of bones
  When your body's broken and your heart wants to give in
  And you hear that hoot owl callin' just like she was a friend
  
  Oh, Ozilline, I feel for you
  (Pleasure's what they double)
  Oh, Ozilline, I feel for you
  (If I could call you mine)
  
  I said, "Ozilline, she don't let you cry
  When you ask where it hurts"
  I said, "Ozilline, she don't let you cry
  When you ask where it hurts"
  She says, "What a blessed sky"
