The Beauty and Ol' Bart

The mayor in our little town Has grown old as he rules. That's why what happened just last year Made us all feel like fools. The train slowed down and fin'ly stopped Here in our little town. A brown eyed beauty smiled and winked An' stepped down on the ground. She said, "I heard that Texas men Can curl a young gal's toes. I come all the way from Kansas To find me one of those." The saucy gal said, "Where's your mayor? Seems like the place to start. He'll know the single men in town. I heard his name is Bart." Next mornin' we all gathered round To watch her catch the train. But there she was on Bart's front porch Singin' some old refrain. She said, "Howdy boys, lovely morn! Ol' Bart's just sleepin' late. If you'd bring up my clothes and things I'd sure appreciate." Well, we was stunned to say the least As we brung up her clothes. Who'd have thought it'd be ol' Bart To curl them Kansas toes... August 22, 2016
