<b>Judy Mae</b> by <i>Boomer Castleman</i><br />

As an only child of seventeen

It hurt when my momma died

When my daddy got home

Just a few days later

Well, he broke right down and cried

But after a year, he up and wed

A girl that was half his age

Then the family was my daddy

And me and Judy Mae

Well, my daddy did

A lot of traveling around

And before he would say goodbye

He'd tell me to

Take care of my new mama

She's the apple of his eye

And as he kissed his

Brand new wife goodbye

I always used to hear him say

Look after my boy

Won't you please, now, Judy Mae

[CHORUS]

Judy Mae, oh, she sure

Had a way of looking after me

Yes, her eyes would sparkle and shine

Every time Papa got ready to leave

Well, one night

While my daddy was gone

She tiptoed into my room

She said that she had to talk to me

Cause my dad was gonna be home soon

She said, you know

I get so lonely and cold

When your daddy is gone for days

What a boy like you

Could do to Judy Mae

Well, I told her that

I'd never done this before

And then she took my hand

And showed me all of the secret things

That turned a boy into a man

And as I lay there by her side

I heard a noise at the window pane

I think that's just the wind

Said Judy Mae

[Repeat CHORUS]

Well, the next day

Daddy had an accident

And two days later, he died

The sheriff said my Daddy

Could drive too good to even

Try to take a turn that wide

But thinking back now

I begin to wonder

To this very day

If it was him, not the wind

That saw me with Judy Mae

If it was him, not the wind

That saw me with Judy Mae
