A Redneck Love Poem

A REDNECK LOVE POEM

Susie Lee done fell in love,
She planned to marry Joe.
She was so happy 'bout it all,
She told her pappy so.

Pappy told her, Susie Gal,
You'll have to find another.
I'd just as soon yore ma don't know,
But Joe is yore half brother.

So Susie put aside her Joe,
And planned to marry Will;
But after telling Pappy this,
He said,Thar's trouble still.

You can't marry Will my gal,
And please don't tell yore mother,
But Will and Joe and several mo',
I know is yore half brothers.

But Mama knew and said, My Child,
Just do what makes ye happy.
Marry Will or marry Joe,
Ye ain't no kin to Pappy.

Robert Johnson October 2, 2017 at 12:54 PM The twist and turn of what we yearn can leave you ever wonder'n. Amidst a spurn of what you learn that leaves the ground a thunder'n. Glad you posted this Judy, the ending was a double edged sword.
