Discover the story of the song > Way Over Yonder In The Minor Key – Billy Bragg

The protagonist used to live in Okfuskee with his girlfriend, who thinks he's unattractive. However, he believes that no one can sing as well as him. They used to go to Buckeye Creek together to watch the frogs eat goggle-eye bees and listen to the wind. They were punished by her mother for being together, but the protagonist has since led many girls astray with his singing abilities. The song emphasizes that there is nobody who sings like the protagonist, especially way over yonder in the minor key.
