Jake Meets Trudy



Jake never took time to look for a wife;
he worked on the Bar-J most of his life.
He roped many a steer and busted lots of broncs;
he ate a lot of dust, even wrote a couple songs.

He's always been a private man, who rarely speaks a word;
but if somethin' needs sayin',he always makes it heard.
He's a gentle kind of guy, a heart of solid gold --
but when you get him riled, it can turn mighty cold.

He never had a lot of friends -- he preferred to be alone;
but as days pass into years, he thinks about a home.
What might have been his life, makes him get a little sad;
he dreams about a pretty wife, and kids to call him 'Dad'.

Well, Jake's luck just took a turn, while at a dance the other night;
he saw a girl there dancing -- her golden hair gleamed in the light.
Jake introduced himself to the gal who'd caught his eye;
she said her name was Trudy, and she blushed -- she was kinda shy.

He asked her for a dance or two, and they two-stepped most the night;
even when the music stopped, they danced 'til morning's light!
Jake knew he'd FOUND that girl he'd waited for all his life;
and before their dance had ended,he'd asked her to be his wife!

Jake and Trudy were married, the very day after they met;
now it's five years later, and they still have no regret.
After all those years of loneliness, Jake now HAS that dream he had --
a wife to love, and a couple of kids: someone to call him 'Dad'!
