Lyrics - Lovely Agnes by Rogers Sally

LOVELY
AGNES(
Sally
Rogers c. 1980)1. and
Chorus:
Oh
Agnes, won't you go with me?
We'll be married in style
And we'll cross
Lake
Michigan, so blue and so wide,
We'll cross over
Lake
Michigan, 'til we come to the shore,
And our orchards will blossom for our babies as they're born.2.
Oh yes, love
I will go with you, leave
Wisconsin behind
Though my parents think little of my life on a farm,
For to leave the gay city life, and be buried on a farm,
But
I'll watch the orchards bloom in spring,
Spend the winter's warm in your arms.3.
Three children she gave to him,
Curtis,
Addie and
Dee
And their fourth child little
Gussie came, ten years after these.
And she raised them with loving hand and with firmness of mind
And she raised them through troubled times,
Agnes strong willed and kind.4.
Now the years have gone and past, like the fruit on the trees,
And your children have children with babes on their knees
And they all join in the summertime, by the crystal lake shore,
To greet lovely
Agnes, now 12 years and four-score. written for
Sally's grandmother
Agnes' 92 b-day.
