Deer Lake of Burnett County
History winking
On the black velvet water,
No voices are heard;

No wolves laughing in the woods,
Just stars on Deer Lake’s black skin....

As she gaen through the glens and glades....

Oh, that Carol Burnett,
with eyes and expressions, you'll not forget,
tugging her left ear after each show,
saying "Grandma, I love you so".

Carol Burnett hosted a comedy show
And every week when it was time to go
A tug on her earlobe meant 'hi' to her grandmother.
Surely one earlobe is now longer than the other....

Comedian Carol Burnett had a variety show I'll never forget. She gave us much laughter and cheer, sometimes just by pulling her ear.

In the freezes of the winter sunny-sets.
Brown icy lake then the sky turns Burnett. 
As the birds walk on ice underneith the hanging pecan trees. 
Looking for nuts, shelter., for comfort from the winter freeze....

In the freezes of the winter summer-sets.  
A brown icy lake then the sky turns burnett. 
As the birds walk on ice infront of the trees. 
Looking for nuts, shelter., for comfort from the winter breeze....

The blind fiddler plays
enrapt in his tune;

His wife sits
warm in the melody
of a strange hearth;

Their baby child
does not cry;
hunger is a constant song;

The eldest son stands
gripped by the fire's 
lyric of security ~

After bread and coin is received
the vagabond family moves on.
