Wooden Wand is the stage name of singer-songwriter James Jackson Toth, who has recorded under his given name as well as the name WAND. The style of music recorded by Toth and his many incarnations has drawn on a variety of both conventional and experimental folk and rock influences, including psychedelic folk, freak folk and indie. Though he was a significant player in the New Weird America trend of the early to mid-2000s along with Devendra Banhart, Akron/Family, Joanna Newsom, and collaborators The Vanishing Voice, Toth has been difficult to pigeonhole in one genre; recent releases have been identified as acid folk, free jazz, outlaw country, and country-tinged rock.

Poison Oak, darling, I know where you've been
Marking off boxes on your checklist of sin
Your father oughta have his old head busted in
For raising you up how he did

You know that your baby is slow and she's thin
Yellow with jaundice all over her skin
I'd build a big fire and throw your mother right in
For raising you up like she did

But I know my blood when I taste it
And hey, Poison Oak, you're alright
So buckle up little Virginia
And stay 'till the end of the night

You wear a suede hat with a fiery brim
And beat cotton dry of each droplet within
They oughta round up your lovers and all of your kin
For letting you go on like you did

But I know deep down that your heart is pure gold
And someday you'll buy back the things you have sold
And someday you won't look so broken and old
And you'll think of the good of your kid

And I know my blood when I'm blinded
And hey, Poison Oak you're OK
So tuck in your little Virginia
And stay 'till the end of the day

Poison Oak, darling, I know where you've been
Marking off boxes on your checklist of sin
Your father oughta have his old head busted in
For raising you up how he did
