Ramona's Revenge - Tom T. Hall[00:00:00]

Ramona lived just down the hill from us.[00:00:11]

She kept the house her mother drove the bus.[00:00:17]

(an old yellow school bus)[00:00:21]

Ramona had a handicap the[00:00:23]

Neighborhood knew well.[00:00:26]

Ramona couldn't speak or couldn't spell.[00:00:29]

And that left Ramona at a[00:00:33]

Considerable disadvantage among the more fluent[00:00:35]

Although she couldn't write or couldn't talk,[00:00:40]

Ramona really had a pretty walk.[00:00:46]

(a four letter figure)[00:00:49]

Because she couldn't write or[00:00:52]

Speak nobody asked her out.[00:00:53]

But "bad-eye" Thompson hung[00:00:57]

Around the house. he was what you'd call a[00:00:59]

Familiar figure in the neighborhood[00:01:04]

Well I guess their handicaps[00:01:09]

Were common ground.[00:01:11]

'Cause "bad-eye" Thompson always hung around.[00:01:14]

He could squint that eye and spit tobacco thirty feet.[00:01:20]

Ramona always grinned and[00:01:26]

Stomped her featuresbecause,[00:01:28]

To Ramona this was one of[00:01:31]

The finer things in life[00:01:33]

One day Ramona found herself with child.[00:01:36]

She couldn't speak. Her mom was going wild.[00:01:42]

Confusion reigned for half a[00:01:47]

Day as one could understand.[00:01:49]

The county judge came down[00:01:53]

To lend a hand. and I think it should be noted in[00:01:55]

The interest of justice that the[00:02:00]

Judge was acting in a strictly unofficial[00:02:03]

Capacity[00:02:06]

The neighbors gathered 'round Ramona's porch.[00:02:09]

The judge said, "Understand, this is not a court".[00:02:14]

Ramona squealed as all the breathless[00:02:20]

Neighbors gathered 'round[00:02:23]

Then she closed one eye and (puh-tui)[00:02:27]

Spat upon the ground.[00:02:31]

And it's a familiar old phrase that[00:02:39]

"birds of a feather will flock together".[00:02:40]

And justice will be done[00:02:45]
