lyrics
As I came over yonder hill, I spied a mighty turkey
He flapped his wings and he spread his tail
And his feet looked awful dirty
You can't see him but he sees you, he's watching from the side
It's hard to get the draw on him
He can see for half a mile
I spied a turkey, but he hasn't seen me yet
He ran behind a tree
And his feet looked awful dirty.
Purr softly now and lure him in, then do not make a sound
You'd better learn to hold your breath
If you want to take him down
The new EP from Scottish songwriter Alec Bowman_Clarke goes deep, setting vulnerable lyrics to gentle melodies & stripped-back arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 30, 2021
Alec Bowman perfectly captures the dark soil under the pastoral world of British folk with this collection of melancholy originals. Bandcamp New & Notable May 12, 2020
Sweet collection of hazy, folk-leaning ditties subtly wrapped in warm, nostalgic ambience. A little lo-fi bedroom pop done right. Bandcamp New & Notable Dec 11, 2015
