Margaret
Jason Webley & friends featuring: Mts. & Tunnel’s
Release Date: December 12, 2014
An old scrapbook found in a San Francisco dumpster, an enigmatic pyramid that presides over a small town in Washington State, and a story too implausible to have been fabricated.
Jason Webley presents “Margaret”, a full length album and hardcover book based on the life and writings of Margaret Rucker, a poet whose tragic serendipitous story was rescued from the bottom of a garbage bin.
“Margaret” features new music by Jason Webley, Eliza Rickman, Jherek Bischoff, Led to Sea, Shenandoah Davis, Lonesome Leash, Zac Pennington, and Mts. & Tunnels, and writings by Jason Webley and Chicken John Rinaldi.
There’s no such thing as garbage.

LYRICS:
Dear Margaret
There’s enough rum runners and scofflaws
to drown you,
It’s a wonder how, how I found you.
My dear, my dear Margaret,
I hope that my transmission finds you well.
I’m leaving from the base here on Saturday,
Meet you at the Palace Hotel.
Wear your fur coat,
Formal on the late boat.
It’s been such a long time,
I can’t believe you’re still mine.
I’ll be counting down the days.
One, two, three days away,
Three days away on the blackball line.
My dear, my dear,
My heart grew faint upon your call.
Surrounded by a crowd of affection,
You know I will gladly trade it all.
I’m in a dream now,
I hope you hear me somehow.
It’s been such a long time,
I can’t believe you’re still mine.
I’ll be counting down the days.
One, two, two days to go,
Two days to go on the blackball line.
There’s enough rum runners and scofflaws
to drown you,
It’s a wonder how, how I found you.
Wear your fur coat,
Formal on the late boat.
It’s been such a long time,
I can’t believe you’re still mine.
I’ll be counting down the days.
Three, two, one day left,
One day left on the blackball line.
