about

The tale of the great-great grandmother who ran off with a man who was wanted for murder.

lyrics

She was a lovely girl
She laughed and sang and played
Out in the fields
She was a lovely girl

She was a wild-like girl
On the horses' backs she rode, she flew,
She was free
She was a wild-like girl

Girly oh girly
Where have you been?
Girly oh girly
So long since you've gone

Watterson was his name
The day he came was when
The thunders roared
He went out to the fields

Watterson on the run
On the horses' backs they rode, they flew,
Disappeared
Watterson her new name

Girly oh girly
Where have you been?
Girly oh girly
So long since you've gone

Shadows of long ago
They laugh and sing and play
Out in the fields
Watterson is our name

Zoom In Zoom Out is beautifully reflective. Mally allows herself to be so vulnerable, but the underlying flow shows an incredibly strong woman. I'm honoured to have had a part in it. Hazel Iris
