The Ballad of Uncle Burley

Burl Gill'an was born back in '49
Thirteenth child, the last of his line
Rest was girls which was ok I guess
From tryin' fer a boy, his mammy needed rest!

balladeer...
...didn't get much though... Lord, Burley was a handfull...
... thought he'd NEVER leave home

Now Uncle Burley is a 'good ol' boy'
Likes pickup trucks an' blow up toys
Likes beer from a bottle 'er beer from a keg
Falls down a lot... he's just got one leg

balladeer...
... lost the other'n... just kinder misplaced it...
... went on a bender... come back... it was gone ???

Not ez'actly small but not near tall
Hair was brown 'fore it was bald
Eyes bloodshot, might be blue
Fer as I can tell he's still got two

balladeer...
... one of 'em kinder has a habit of wanderin' on him...
...might be lookin' fer that other leg

Uncle Burley had a gal, name was Lo...rayne
NATURAL redhead (no need to explain)
Tube top an' jeans, so even dressed
You could tell right away... that gal was blessed!

balladeer...
... worked at Elsie's Bar... spent more time on the
pole than Tony Stewart... an' Little 'E'... put together

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ... EEEEEEEEE, gonna take 'er home now!!!

Burley got drunk, wrecked his Packard
Got out to walk, false leg on backward
Need to find him, 'cause it done started snowin'
Couldn't tell from his tracks, if he was comin' 'er goin'!!!

balladeer...
... search party stopped at Elsie's... needed bee...uh, supplies...
...that's where they found him... moon walkin'... to Johnny Cash...
...on one leg... with Lo...rayne... looked like two Beagles ridin'
a pogo stick... that gal was blessed!!!

....................Party time !!! ... drinks on the house......
Author notes

Nah, just met her kin-folk at a couple places I used to hang out.
