A Song for Connie

Bless your beautiful hide,

Bless your beautiful hide.

Bless your beautiful hide

Wherever you may be.

We ain't met yet

But I'm a willin' to bet

You're the gal for me.

Bless your beautiful hide

You're just as good as lost.

I don't know your name

But I'm a-stakin' my claim

Lest your eyes is crossed.

Oh, I'd swap my gun 'n' I'd swap my mule

Tho' whoever took it would be one big fool.

Or pay your way thru cookin' school.

If 'n you would say I do.

Bless your beautiful hide

Prepare to bend your knee.

And take that vow

Cause I'm tellin' you now,

You're the gal for me.

Pretty and trim but kinda slim.

Heavenly eyes but oh that size,

She's gotta be right to be the bride for me.

Bless her beautiful hide

Wherever she may be.

Bless your beautiful hide

Wherever you may be.

We ain't met yet but I'm a willin' to bet

You're the gal for me.

Tuesday night this song started going through my mind. It is from Seven Brides for Seven Brothers..........one of my many favorite movies. I even tried to sing a line or two; but not very well so don't bother to tell me that. So I dedicate this to Connie who said she would be singing it the rest of the night. Hey girl.....I'm still singing it!
