Older man order mail order bride. She arrives as a lovely little Asian girl and morphs into a "Jersey Girl." Song features twin fiddles by Tim Carbone of Railroad Earth which sounds like Tokyo meets the hills of Appalachia. In the mood for something different? Here it is.
Lyrics
"She was pretty as a petal floating on a puddle In between the light and dark When she landed in Bogota moved to Jersey City Ended up in Palisades Park... Now she's Jersey as a toll booth Never tells the whole truth My Laotian bride. Talkin' shit to strangers Givin' guys the finger My Laotian bride."
