She Beat All I Ever Saw

I've known some Katies and I've loved some Sadies And I've seen my share of girls' names in between But I'll tell you son I've never known one That measured up to a girl named Ima Jean She could rope a calf or she could make me laugh And she could do things that I've never seen I would have wed her but she had thought better And ran off with a dude from Abilene Well I miss her still guess I always will And there are times I get nasty and mean Then I drink my beer and wish she was here Instead of with that dude from Abilene 9/17/2017

Knew an Ima Jean Perrmentor, played a great upright piano. Ran off with a singer fella to Waco. Last I heard she had 13 children. Kinda miss her playing. Love this one Larry...

Haha..Your story is a better one than mine. You should write that one..I love the "Ran off with a singer fella to Waco."!!That's almost a poem in itself.You never did tell me where you're from in Texas. You mentioned going through Andrews many times so tell me!
