Dry And Dusty

From Emmett Lundy, Grayson County Virginia. It's not known whether the Belle of Lexington is a society woman, a steam boat, or a prostitute.

Belle Of Lexington

I used to think that the title referred to a person running a sawmill, so I when I added the section in the minor key (thanks Cathy Moore), I changed the title to refer to the other "represented" profession--miner. Later, I found out that a Mississippi sawyer is a log sticking out of the surface of a river's water, threatening to buzz-saw any boat that encounters it.
