Well my sister missed her only bus today
So I took her on her way
But down the road it started to hail n' snow
So bad so we couldn't even see where to go

And when the snow died down
We saw a woman all dressed in a wedding gown
She ran from us but we quickly followed her
Her hair bounced around like ol' rabbit fur

When we got to her on the side of the road
She couldn't say how young or how old
Cried out, "My love has died all over again!"
She sobbed and wept as it began to rain

Her hair was wet and her make-up ran
Her hands gripped the wet grainy sand
My sister looked down at her with an ill look in her eye
She attempted to help but she only cried

"It's alright," I said, "We'll take you back."
She said," Well then, you just don't know jack."
"No I don't but I'm sure old Jack knows me."
"I don't know, let's us both go and see."

Well I picked her up and took her to our truck
And out in the forest I spotted a young forest buck
She shivered and she whined as I placed her gently down
A beauty shined in her eye like the glitter if a crown

Yes' right there and then I was ensnared
Right there with my sister sitting there
Love smiled at me and I smiled back
My sister trying not to make a crack

We all drove down to my sisters little school
Us in the back talking me sounding like a fool
I took her hand and asked her to be mine
Next I knew I was standing next to her in the chapel line

And I fought ol' Jack and I did win
Later found out he was second a kin
Jack swung and kicked and hollered and swore
A left and a right from me and he said "No more"

So there is the story of my random love
Thank God ol' Jack didn't pull a gun
But on that day I can truthfully say
I'm glad I took the way around the cay
