Mehan Oklahoma by James Talley Lyrics

Og in his khaki pants
Suspenders and straw hat
Chewing Beechnut tobacco to beat the band

Mary in her Sunday best
Flowers on her dress
Waiting on the train to Cushing in the sun

I sang 'Jesus loves me' for a dime, one time
Soda Pop and candy
I can sing real Dandy
Most any time

In that Grocery Store in Mehan
When I was five
But it was years since I was down
That Oki road
And now the old folks are gone
There's boards on all the windows
And the train don't run no more
And I wonder
Does Jesus love me still?
Lord, I do remember it well
Og in his khaki pants
Suspenders and straw hat
Chewing Beechnut tobacco to beat the band

Mary in her Sunday best
Flowers on her dress
Waiting on the train to Cushing in the sun

I sang 'Jesus loves me' for a dime, one time
In Mehan, Oklahoma
When I was five
