Evelyn Visits

Tru Badour sat in front of the saloon

seems like no one wanted a tune

he strummed his guitar in a slow lazy way

stopping suddenly when he heard someone say

'Hey there, Tru, what's new?'

He turned around, his smile grew wide

standing right behind him not tryin' to hide

was Evelyn Treelane, a friend from the past

whose marriage to Roland didn't last

'Evelyn T, what are you doin' here?'

'On my way to my new career,

just stopped by to see old friends.

Speaking of that what are you doing here?'

'Still tryna sell music to help grieve or cheer.

BG's a tough market I'm beginin' to fear.

Let's go inside and have a drink and

you can tell me all about this new career.'

'Roland just couldn't get over being a lap dog.

He didn't have strength that I required.

Our days together stretched like weak elastic

and eventually our mutual love expired'

CrookedSmile gave a big hello,

Was this fate since Loren was rumoured to go?

'There's a position openin' right here, Miss T.

Love to have you come work for me.'

'And aren't you just a lovely man?

But I'm afraid I cannot change my plan.

There's a riverboat I have to meet and

the lady owner waiting there to greet.'

'Just one tune, Miss T,

one you can sing with me.

I writ it for the ladies,' said Tru.

'They'd love to hear it from you.'
