Melindy
Melindy fell way deep in love with a mountain boy she knew. But it was
quite the proper thing as she was mountain too.
She hastened home to tell her Pap that shortly she would be wed to one
likely Mr. Rufus Brown. When Pap looked up and said: "No honeychile, you
cain't do that. You will have to find another - don't tell your Ma, but
Rufus Brown is surely your half-brother."
Melindy shed a few tears, and slowly went her way, and soon she met
another boy and hastened home to say: "Now Pap, I'm goin' to marry that
Smith boy who lives down the street. He ain't got no bad habits and he
dresses real neat"
But Pap, he slowly shook his head and looked across to Mother, then
whispered low, "You cain't do that. That Smith boy is also your half-
brother."
Then Melindy, she forgot her oath and blurted out to Mother, "Pap says I
cain't wed Rufus Brown because he's my half-brother. Then when I met
that Smith boy, although it sounds like treason, Pap says I can't marry
him for just that same old reason."
Then Ma says "Honeychild, don't cry. Put on your weddin' cap, and marry
either one you want.... you ain't no kin to Pap!"
