The Legend of Spanish Moss A villain there was named Gorez Goz Who journeyed here from Spain. The natives feared him much because His heart was set on a gain. Gorez espied an Indian maid Who filled his fondest hope. He bought her for a yard of braid And a little bar of soap. The Indian maid was sore afraid And fled this bearded brute. She sped o'er hill and field and glade With Gorez in pursuit. At last the maiden climbed a tree; The Spaniard did the same. The lass was bent on being free; Gorez desired his claim! She balanced on a slender limb Then dove into the brook. She much preferred a morning swim To this bearded Spanish crook. The troubles of Gorez begin, His naughty plans are queered. He snags the whiskers of his chin The branches hold his beard. The Indian maiden thus is free, Gorez's life is a loss, But his beard lives on for you to see As dangling Spanish Moss! | So now I have shared some of the reasons that I love to live in Alabama Hope you enjoyed getting to know more about the State that I call home Thanks for popping by and staying a little while Have a wonderful happy day Don't forget to make some Chocolate Pecan Pie I am sure you could use other nuts such as Walnuts or Almonds It is bound to taste good with all the yummy ingredients it has in it See you again soon Janet |
