Goodbye

Aunt Mary was given two weeks to live
So I handed her my very favorite book
And she said, "What is this shit?
If I'm gonna spend my final hours reading this
It better be fantastic, better be fantastic
Tom sang "Don't Worry"
Elle smoked and cleaned
It was Thanksgiving but it felt like Halloween
We could have used some scripture
Or a burning bush on high
Cause nobody knows how to say goodbye
Well I was in the Texas town of El Paso when she finally passed
And we were passing a joint and the phone rang and a pigeon hit the glass
So I stepped outside into the Barrio
You know the one they ran I-10 through
Now it's just a bunch of fences, pit bulls, and a church with one pew
So we came back inside and we decided
We needed to scrounge up an offering of some kind
But all we could find
Was coffee beans, tequila, lemon
We put 'em on a plate
The day Mary passed away
And then we made a big bowl of Guacamole
And we stuck a candle right there in the center
And we lit, we made a wish, and we put our hands together
Someone sing "Stir It Up"
Someone blow that kazoo
Please do something
So there's something to do
If I wasn't such a man
Then maybe I could cry
But nobody knows how to say goodbye

My Mother's Hands

My mother's hands
Picking off the chicken from the bone
Onions dancing in the pan
My mother's hands
My mother's hands
Mandolin picking tremolo
Back and forth shimmy on the dance floor
My mother's hands
My mother's hands
I got to borrow them today
Cooking up my mother's chicken soup
Celery poppin' in the pan
Just like her mother taught her to
Now I get to pass along this bowl of love to you
With my mother's hands
With my mother's hands

Jenner Fox Sisters, Oregon
There is something that happens inside a good song. A tootsie roll can take you back to your elementary school playground; the voice of a toothless refrigerator man reminds you to say “I love you.” Jenner Fox tells the stories of people and places with unparalleled compassion and respect. His artful tone, poetry, and fluency on his guitar do something only the brave ones do: let us in. ... more
