Liner notes

A folk song about the tiny hamlet of Carbon, Iowa, resting on the south bank of the Middle Nodaway River. The lyrics echo the history of a booming 19th-century coal mining camp that faded into a quiet village. It sings of the old hand pump on pump road that watered the town for a century.
