Marion Mitchell Morrison

The Morrisons had a baby boy Marion was his name But in the future he would change it Cause he was destined for World Fame. He would have a larger-than-than life image A distinctive voice and walk He would become an enduring Icon Folks would listen when he’d talk. Duke is what friends would call him He would stand six feet four He would epitomize masculinity When he walked in through the door. He appeared in various types of movies But Westerns were his best It was those most folks relate him too Although he was good in all the rest. He had a legendary presence which to me reveals How He symbolized and communicated Americas values and ideals. His lineage was Scots-Irish And now I will explain The legend that I’m speaking of The Duke, of course, John Wayne.
