Beth And Jim

Beth Ray's ex husband Jim he was buried today
At peace with himself he forever does lay
But his funeral Beth she did not attend
As she no longer did look on him as a friend

For his sudden death she did not have a tear to spare
Their children and grandchildren is all they had left in common to share
When drunk he used to beat her him for this she did not forgive
She will retain her bad memories of him for as long as she will live

Beth in her early sixties two years younger than the now deceased Jim
Does feel sorry now that she ever met him
The man she used to love she looked on as a foe
Her love for him had died many years ago

She feels sorry now that she choose Jim instead
Of the one who loved her the gentleman Ted
For our mistakes in life always some price to pay
That she has lived to regret with her it is this way.

For her love of him he repaid her in fear
And at the news of his death she did not shed a tear
She intends to stay single for the rest of her life
And she will never again be another man's wife.
