Hee Haw! Poem by Marilyn Lott

Such a fun and funny show it was
Hee Haw was so unique
Had the best of country singers
In tattered clothes and shoeless feet

Their hats of straw all ragged
A missing tooth left a hole
Slang and bad grammar
But great heart and lots of soul

And then there was Minnie Pearl
Oh how I loved that precious gal
The friend you see across the fence
With your hair wrapped in a towel

Just an ordinary country girl
Minnie with her new-boughten hat
Ah yes, wish I’d known her
She was genuine where I sat

Just plain ole’ country folks
Like watermelon, chicken and slaw
One of the best shows ever created
By the simple name of Hee Haw!
