lyrics
Oxford town oxford town everybody's got their heads bowed down
Sun don't shine above the ground ain't a goin' down to oxford town
He went down to oxford town guns and clubs followed him down
All because his face was brown better get away from oxford town
Oxford town around the bend he come to the door but he couldn't get in
All because of the color of his skin what do you think about that my friend
Me and my gal and my gals son, we got hit by a tear gas bomb
I don't even know why we come i'm a going back to where i'm from
Oxford town in the afternoon everybody singing a sorrowful tune
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon somebody better investigate soon
Sun don't shine above the ground ain't a goin' down to oxford town
He went down to oxford town guns and clubs followed him down
All because his face was brown better get away from oxford town
Oxford town around the bend he come to the door but he couldn't get in
All because of the color of his skin what do you think about that my friend
Me and my gal and my gals son, we got hit by a tear gas bomb
I don't even know why we come i'm a going back to where i'm from
Oxford town in the afternoon everybody singing a sorrowful tune
Two men died 'neath the Mississippi moon somebody better investigate soon

Age of Apathy
by Aoife O'Donovansupported by 26 fans who also own “Oxford Town / Cumberland Gap”
The instrumentation and songwriting in this album is really top-tier. Aofie is one of my favorite folk/alt-country artists and she performs wonderfully, bringing her unique tone of voice to this project. This album was my first step into Aofie's artistry, and is firmly one of my favorite albums.
