A Grand Old Lady Who Will Soon Be Eighty
Born in the year of thirty-four When Bonnie and Clyde became no more The Great Depression was there for her start And sturdy Czech people gave her a heart The black land cotton empire is her domain And believe me it’s been a wonderful reign Each morning as I arise from the night I am treated to a most beautiful sight Being I am her neighbor to the West A sunrise across her bow is the best So many festive occasions with lots of fun Hosted a funeral for a favorite son So many stories about her we could tell Here fraternalism is alive and well King Cotton is falling from his throne But she still stands strong even alone Anticipating a future that is bright Even today she is an impressive sight Having no name with her is fine Satisfied with number twenty-nine
