The Byrds     Antique Sandy   written by Roger McGuinn

                       
Antique Sandy lived in the woods
                                         
And she'd go to the stream when the weather was good
                                          
She'd take down the washin for her old man to wear
                                  
And she tried not to get   eaten by the bear
                                       
She'd fly to the market in her worn out old balloon
                                                
That she traded with the flyer  for an antique silver spoon
                                            
And when she got home she'd cook upon the wooden stove
                                                 
And she'd go to sleep and listen to the whispers of the grove
                                        
At night she dreamed of places where she lived when she was young
                                                             
Where the corn strip stretched for miles like a giant serpent's tongue
                                     
Electric lights and phone bells and every light insane (?)
                                                
Like a hundred thousand hungry  miles meeting at her brain

SOLO

                                               
I greet her in the morning when she wakes up in my arms
                                                   
And I tell her that I love her and I'll keep her free from harm
                                                
I hold her close she matters she is all the world to me
                                             
Cause she's my Antique Sandy and she's in love with me
