Donald And Lydia Lyrics

Cover art for Donald And Lydia lyrics by John Prine

I'm always amazed when I see John Prine in person and this song draws laughs. Yes it's about masturbation. But more importantly it's about loneliness and isolation. It's such a sad song and the line "fat girl daughter of Virginia and Ray" always draws a number of laughs. I just shake my head in wonder.
