Texas Love Poem

Suzy Lee fell in love
She planed to marry Joe.
She was so happy 'bout it all,
She told her Pappy so.

Pappy told her, "Suzy Gal,
You'll have to find another.
I'd just as soon yo maw don't know,
But Joe is yo half-brother."

So Suzy forgot about her Joe
And planned to marry Will.
But after telling Pappy this
He said ,"there's trouble still"

"You can't marry Will, my gal,
And please don't tell yo mother
But Will and Joe and several more
I know is yo half-brother"

But Mama knew and Mama said
"Child , do what makes you happy .
Marry Will or Mary Joe,
You ain't no kin to Pappy
