SEAFORD by Marian [Miller] McConnell (about 1974)
We moved down from Ohio to Seaford-town
We thought we knew better but the people around
Said, “There’s the Post Office, there’s the store;
That’s all there is and there ain’t no more!”
Even though the town may be quite small
And the mosquitoes are ten feet tall
You’ll sing, “There’s the Post Office, there’s the store;
That’s all there is and there ain’t no more!”
So meet me down by the telephone pole
There ain’t no bridges so there ain’t no toll.
You’ll sing, “There’s the Post Office, there’s the store;
That’s all there is and there ain’t no more!”
After you’ve been here for a while,
You’ll see that in Seaford the people always smile,
And sing, “There’s the Post Office, there’s the store;
That’s all there is but who’d want more?
There’s the Post office, there’s the store;
That’s all there is but WHO’D WANT MORE!”
