An Appalachian Mother's Love

I Will Get Him A Squirrel Gun A Few Days Went By And One Morning I Got Up Out Of Bed Before Mom And Dad Did. I Walked Into The Living Room And Quietly Sat Down. I Could Hear Mom And Dad Talking In Their Bedroom. I Heard Mom Say To Dad You Could Buy Tony A Good Shot Gun If You Would Do It. I Heard Dad Say Back To Mom Now I Just Don'T Have The Money. Mom Told Him It'S A Sin To Lie. Dad Said To Her Well You Go Buy Him A Gun If You Can. Then Mom Told Him. 'I Will Get Him A Squirrel Gun If It Harelips Old Billy Hell You Just Wait And See If I Don'T.
