The Brackens work for
Uncle Sam; The Haley's will sell you steak or ham Between them,
Jennings has the ice, That you can get if you have the price; Dr. Neely is next with
plenty of pills For stomach, back, and other And T.N. Neely, Jr. is
right side of Doc With dry goods, groceries
and other stock. On Saturday nights we
have a show, Between Neely and Rogers,
Bridges makes it go. Rogers' grocery is next
in line, Waiting to Set your
dollar or dime; Rufus Bridges has plenty
of ice, Look on the door, you see
the price. Harris has you six eight
four, With drygoods, shoes, and
a grocery store; Then Holland with a
Barber chair, In here on Saturday to
cut your hair; Then Pinkes' Cafe, a good
place to stop, For
hotdogs,burgers, coffee sizzling hot.
Jim Allbritton net to
grind your meal
And fix your shoes from
toe to heel; Then
up the street but still in sight, The blacksmith shop,
opens up before night; Back down the street is
Neely's garage Where your car can get a
complete massage. And further down a few more paces, Is Wiley Bridges, shaving
faces
Then O.N. Sebren with flour and feeds And other groceries to
supply your needs Around the bend not far away
You find two churches where they preach and pray;
And a beautiful school house built of brick,
Where they teach reading,writing and Arithmetic
We know our town but not it's fate,
But know, its one of the best in the state.
Written around 1948-49 by O.N. Sebren
