She's tall, pretty, has brown hair and blue eyes.
She says things like "yella" and "y'all", Texas is home.
In the band she played the bass drum with guys.
Jessie is her name, she is now back home.
Jessie Ruth has four siblings, two of each.
She was the second oldest of them all.
Jessie is my grandma, she has to teach.
Her brothers and sisters and her are tall.
she let me do anything I wanted.
She loved daisies, windmills, and the Cowboys.
We made cakes, jell-o pie, all I flaunted.
Old and frail, tall and thin, she walked with poise.
October twenty-sixth is her birthday,
She's seventy-four, she's with God today.
