A Simple Lady
Just a gravel road
Laid with old creek rock
Way out in the country
No door has a lock
Just a tidy yard
With a garden on the side
A well in the back
They would seek, I would hide
Just a little trailer
Surrounded by all trees
Sitting on the porch swing
Swatting at the wood bees
Just a small bird bath
And a little lady sign,
“Wipe your feet honey child”
Mostly talking about mine
Just an old station wagon
Drove us everywhere
All across the state we went
Without a problem or a care
Just a simple lady
With a smile bright as May
With a heart good as gold
And a laugh that made your day
Just a simple lady
That I would like to be
If I’m anything like her
I hope the world will see
Just a simple lady
Who really lit this place
On high, she’s resting peaceful
Her soul is now with Grace
