Larry Bradfield Poet Rhyme

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

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!
