(Sung by Governor Robert J. Bentley)
(Apologies to Stephen Foster)
Now that Cari Searcy
and Kimberly McKeand
(from wacky Californ-i-a)
can get down on one knee
where else but Louisiana
can one love traditionally?
Good ol' boys hitched right and left
We've all but been bled dry
But that Sanctity of Marriage Act
we'll preserve it if we try.
Oh Susanna
might you have dumped Steve
for some other
folk singer's lady
in a more enlightened
mid-19th century?
