| |
| ''There's no use in talking 'bout the Big Bend Gal,''<br>
| |
| ''That lives on the county line;''<br>
| |
| ''For Betsy Jane from the prairie plain''<br>
| |
| ''Just leaves them way behind.''<br>
| |
| ''You never would see such a likely woman,''<br>
| |
| ''If you searched out all creation;''<br>
| |
| ''She beats the gals from the flat creek bottom,''<br>
| |
| ''She's the queen of the whole plantation.''
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| ''She totes herself like a flying squirrel'' [Carl Baron - "probably a reference to a motorcycle"]<br>
| |
| ''And the men folk all come around;''<br>
| |
| ''And lord how the dewdrops get off the grass''<br>
| |
| ''When she puts her feet upon the ground.''<br>
| |
| ''She's just as ripe as an apple on a tree,''<br>
| |
| ''And she looks so pretty and snug;''<br>
| |
| ''And her mouth's just as sweet as a corncob stopper''<br>
| |
| ''That comes out of a molasses jug.''
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| ''The calf comes a-loping when the old cow calls,''<br>
| |
| ''And the possum dog comes to the horn;''<br>
| |
| ''And the grape vine climbs up the tall oak tree,''<br>
| |
| ''And the morning glory wraps around the corn.''<br>
| |
| ''And a fellow will turn around and come pretty quick,''<br>
| |
| ''When he hears that pretty gal laugh;''<br>
| |
| ''She hangs on his arm like a bird on a tree''<br>
| |
| ''As they both go walking up the path.''
| |
| <br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| ''Her eyes give light like a foxfire chunk,''<br>
| |
| ''And her teeth are white as snow;''<br>
| |
| ''And the fellers in the cotton patch keep looking back''<br>
| |
| ''When they see her come chopping down the row.''<br>
| |
| ''She's gone crowd the hands where the crabgrass grows,''<br>
| |
| ''And kill the weeds as she goes;''<br>
| |
| ''She skippers up the furrow in a cloud of dust,''<br>
| |
| ''As she busts them clods with a hoe.'' (lyrics courtesy Carl Baron)
