“Wright and Ketchen Line”
Description
Singer describes working on the Wright and Ketchen narrow-gauge lumber railroad, and the characters with whom he works. At the end of the season, he plans to go to Saginaw and spend his money.
Notes
This comes close to being a nonballad, since very little happens in it; after being turned out in the woods, everyone works -- after which the song deviates into character descriptions. - PJS
