Ellen Jean, took sight unseen |
|
A husband from the Isle of Skye |
|
His mind was keen and eyes were green |
|
But the whiskey he drank was rye |
|
|
|
Ellen Jean was a precocious teen |
|
She drank her wine and loved her beer |
|
Her man from Skye was tall and lean |
|
But loved his whiskey; it was clear |
|
|
|
Ellen Jean loved her ale crisp and clean |
|
Her man from Skye had no love for beer |
|
But they drank the cupboards clean |
|
They never ever looked back in fear |
|
|
|
Then one day from a long nights dream |
|
Ellen Jean mixed the beer and rye |
|
She added an ounce of whipping cream |
|
She said, “This you got to try”. |
