Old Hat

         That Old Hat 


That old hat had belonged 

Belonged to someone sad 

Sad because the hat was . . .


Well the old hat was lost 

Lost and left in the church 

Wedding's over I took 


A sad hat, took it with

I would never wear it 

Not a goof hat like this 


My sister told me scoop 

The hat had been there long 

Hadn't been claimed, dunno 


That was license for me 

For that hat I had plans 

"Don't tell Sis, my Secret" 


"When we leave leave it there 

On her hanger in back 

Low too where she won't see "


Will she tell what she did 

Surprise, surprise for her 

Then mail surprise for me  


A package in the mail 

From mysister, that hat 

Kept a day, sent it back 


Back and forth that hat went 

Don't know where it is now 

Who has it, we don't know
