BIOGRAPHY OF MRS. OLLIE ODOM

If I had my "druthers" said Ollie one day
I'd sail o'er the sea to a land far away
For I'd druther be a princess or maybe a queen
Than a farmer's wife with a house to clean,
With chickens to feed and cows to milk.
I'd have to wear calico when I'd druther have silk.

But along came a boy named Hanesbary you see
He smiled at her, she grinned at he.
Her druthers all vanished into air like steam
As night after nigh of Hanesbary she'd dream.
Now, he was handsome but a little bit shy,
but she was a woman with woman's wiles
So quick as a flash and quick as a wink,
her druthers all changed and she began to think
I'd druther have him for the the King of my home
Than to live in a castle for reign on a throne.
I'd ruther have children that looked like he
Than go sailing to a land across the sea.

So at last they were married. Their hopes were so high.
When Hanesbary was cross, poor Ollie would cry
And just for a moment her druthers would sway to a throne
Or a castle in a land far away.
But at close of the day when the candles he'd light
She'd hold the baby and he'd smoke his pipe.
She'd look around at him just to see
If he was as happy and contented as she.
By the look in his eye and the sparkle she'd see
He was as happy as happy could be.

I'd druther have this, to herself she would say,
And we're all glad you decided to stay
And not go sailing to lands far away
For we could not have been with you
On your Golden Wedding Day.
