Red Neck Love Poem

Susie Lee done fell in love;

She planned to marry Joe.

She was so happy 'bout it all

She told her Pappy so.

Pappy told her, Susie gal,

You'll have to find another.

I'd just as soon yo' Ma don't know,

But Joe is yo' half brother

So Susie put aside 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 your Mother,

But Will and Joe and several mo'

I know is yo' half brother

But Mama knew and said, My child,

Just do what makes you happy.

Marry Will or marry Joe

You ain't no kin to Pappy.
