Will this one get me in trouble :slight_smile: ?

An old mountaineer named Jake was dying. His wife, Becky, was maintaining a candlelight vigil by his side.

She held his fragile hand, tears running down her face.

Her praying roused him from his slumber. He looked up and his pale lips
began to move slightly.

"Becky my darlin’ he whispered.

“Hush my love,” she said. “Rest, don’t talk.” He was insistent. “Becky,” he said in his tired voice, “I have something that I must confess.”

There’s nothing to confess," replied the weepin’ Becky, “Everything’s all right, go to sleep now ya hear.”

“No, no. I must die in peace, Becky. I slept with your sister, your best friend, her best friend, and your mother!”

“I know sweetheart,” whispered Becky, “just be still and let the poison work.”

Pa’s Wild Oats

I was going to marry Billy
For I could love no other.
Pa said, “You can’t marry Billy
Because Billy Wayne’s your half brother.”

He said that it would sure raise a fuss
If I mentioned it to Ma,
So I fell in love with Henry
'Til I had another talk with Pa.

And he said, "It’s going to cause you pain,
Again don’t tell your mother,
But you can’t marry Henry Jay
Because like Billy, he’s your brother.

Now my ma was getting quite concerned
When I broke up with Harry.
She said, “Girl you’re almost fifteen,
Aren’t you ever going to marry?”

So I told her about what Pa said,
How all my friends were brothers,
Henry, Billy Wayne and Harry
And I’m not sure about the others.

She said, "Well your Pa sure sowed his oats
And sometimes that’s a bother
But you just marry who you want
Because your pa is not your father.
