Twenty some odd years ago,
A drunkard down in Memphis.
Lost a month of life and labor.
To the county jail.
Just because he asked a little
Green eyed girl a question.
And offered her a nickle's
worth of candy if she'd tell.

A year and some odd days ago,
An old man died in Memphis,
Just another wayward soul,
The county had to claim.
Inside the olds mans coat
They found a ragged letter,
It said he had a daughter
and her eyes were emerald green.
