Sherwood
Liner notes
A midwest folk song about Sherwood, Wisconsin, where the rolling farm fields meet the eastern shores of Lake Winnebago. The lyrics tell the story of the old century farmsteads and the stone limekiln ruins standing quiet near High Cliff State Park. The singer reflects on the town's history, from its days as Sherwood Forest to the modern community gathered along Clifton Road.
