Oh Sweet Emily

Oh sweet Emily

Oh sweet Emily 

Thank you much for thinking of me

Why you went to go

Out of town to the rodeo   

Dear tender Emma 

I know you remember 

What I had said to you

In July 4th 2002

Let your eyes get bug out

Let your voice just go and shout 

Let your dreams just dance about

and pleaser allow our love to hang out
