Making the move from Michigan to Atlanta in 1976 I passed under an over-pass with the road name, Isabella. I reached for my notebook and started writing this song, incorporating some yooper imagery, the mining country of the U.P.

lyrics

It was eleven eleven a thursday my thirty third year
me and Isabella on of my true friends
It was eleven twenty two started to dance

Oh Isabella preenin her feather
oh Isabella covered in leather
she lives in a company house
outside Diorite outside Diorite

you'll find her singing any time of the moon
plays a little flute alot alone in her room
the miners never bother her twice
outside Diorite outside Diorite

oh Isabella she keeps not her lovers
oh Isabella she takes hearts to slaughter
but she don't do no one mean
outside Diorite outside Diorite

she don't take lovers on the basis of age
she lives outside of conventional days
she loves young and old black and white
outside Diorite outside Diorite
