Jack and Jill lived on the Bayou
they played together every day
as the years few by
all other children grew up
and other worlds went to try
these two thought,
"Leaving ain't what we want!"
their families said, then don't!
SO,
Jack and Jill remained on the Bayou
and had a wonderful live
with Jack as the husband
and Jill as the lovey wife
they had twelve little children
and lived the old Bayou way
they were happy and their love overspilled
all their bellies were kept filled
until Jack didn't come home one day
all neighbors from the Bayou joined the search
it started at the crack of dawn
the old lady next door
said to Jill, "I told um don't go.
Ya know, the swamp signs I know, fo sho!"
"The day had a chill and my knee ache I feel.
He didn't believe a word I said. No reason look fo Jack.
He ain't coming back. The gator belly last night he filled!"
