Goodbye America, oh
Where I have never been
Take the banjo and
Play me goodbye
Your worn jeans
Became too small for me
We’ve been taught for so long
To love your forbidden fruit
Goodbye America, oh
Where I will never be
This blog is about old postcards, book illustration and all kinds of paper whimsy from the Soviet Union. I'm a long time collector, and this blog is 7 years old. I have an etsy shop for cards, books, pins and vintage finds from Russia.
