SONG OF DEVASTATION – NUMBER 32
Thank you, Alexandra from Sacramento, for sending this strange, haunted and sad song from Jennie Pearl. It’s certainly a Song of Devastation. Love Susie. x
I recently came across this song ‘Maybe in Another Year’ by Jennie Pearl, one of two songs recorded by the then fifteen year old on a compilation of obscure female folk songs. I wanted to share it as I was immediately reminded of Susie’s Songs of Devastation series. I hope you enjoy.
Love Alexandra

Maybe in Another Year
And maybe in another year
You’ll come back to cheer me
And when, I mean, and if you do
I will give my love to you
And on that day we’ll laugh and cry
And we will close our eyes
To the hate of the world
To the evil that looks our way
And in the end what is the answer?
Will you love the other or me
And in the end what is the answer?
Will there be another year for me?
