Claire was the mayor's daughter
Knees went weak when I saw her
We'd tussled for a summer when I walked in on her and Clyde
And so she'd often wander
With every boy in Potter
Many suitors died with honor in the War Between the States
And Clyde was a cavalryman
When he got home to him she ran
But he had eyes for western lands and left her behind
So Claire settled down
Her husband moved her out of town
They tried to lay her past to rest hung up those evening gowns
Now Jeremiah was a logger
We all knew he's off his rocker
Thought Claire to be his lover much to her surprise
Her children loved their mother
Towards their father she grew fonder
Her hair just turned blonder beauty stood the test of time
Then word got a round
That Clyde was back in town
By way of Manifest Destiny he'd gained himself renown
In the year '75
Ten years after Lincoln died
Claire kissed the kids goodnight
Snuck off to meet her old friend Clyde
Now Jeremiah saw that chance
His own twisted sick romance
Denying his advances, Claire was never seen alive
He hung for what he'd done
We caught him bloodied with his gun
He never told us where she lay
But I know that Claire would run
We never found that girl from Potter
Who'd so often wander
Till more than a century later a builder found her in the ground
Beneath the cranes of Potter
Where Jeremiah shot her
There lies the Mayor's daughter
Two feet down
Beneath the cranes of Potter
Hair no longer blonder
Beneath the cranes of Potter
In her finest evening gown
Knees went weak when I saw her
We'd tussled for a summer when I walked in on her and Clyde
And so she'd often wander
With every boy in Potter
Many suitors died with honor in the War Between the States
And Clyde was a cavalryman
When he got home to him she ran
But he had eyes for western lands and left her behind
So Claire settled down
Her husband moved her out of town
They tried to lay her past to rest hung up those evening gowns
Now Jeremiah was a logger
We all knew he's off his rocker
Thought Claire to be his lover much to her surprise
Her children loved their mother
Towards their father she grew fonder
Her hair just turned blonder beauty stood the test of time
Then word got a round
That Clyde was back in town
By way of Manifest Destiny he'd gained himself renown
In the year '75
Ten years after Lincoln died
Claire kissed the kids goodnight
Snuck off to meet her old friend Clyde
Now Jeremiah saw that chance
His own twisted sick romance
Denying his advances, Claire was never seen alive
He hung for what he'd done
We caught him bloodied with his gun
He never told us where she lay
But I know that Claire would run
We never found that girl from Potter
Who'd so often wander
Till more than a century later a builder found her in the ground
Beneath the cranes of Potter
Where Jeremiah shot her
There lies the Mayor's daughter
Two feet down
Beneath the cranes of Potter
Hair no longer blonder
Beneath the cranes of Potter
In her finest evening gown
