"BULLFROG BUD"
WAY OUT IN THE SHALLOW WATER WHERE THE SAW GRASS GROWS,
THERE IS A LIVING PEOPLE MAKE FROM THE END OF THE POLE
IT'S NOT AN EASY LIVING, AND THE PEOPLE ARE TOUGH,
THESE THOUGHTS ARE ABOUT A MAN WHO REALLY KNOWS HIS STUFF.
HE'S STRONG AND HE IS HARD AND HIS WISDOM NEVER ENDS,
BULLFROG BUD, MY DAD AND MY FRIEND,
BULLFROG BUD!
"HEART AND SOUL"
WAY DOWN SOUTH FLORIDA WAY, OUT IN THE EVERGLADES
ALONG THE TAMIAMI TRAIL HIGHWAY.
SOMEWHERE IN THE MIDDLE OF A MARSHY SLOUGH, AND
BLANKETED BY A STARRY SKY LATE IN THE NIGHT,
THERES A WORD GOING AROUND ABOUT A MAN I KNOW,
WHO'S GIVEN ALL HIS FEELING HEART AND SOUL,
TO A MARSHLAND FULL OF SAWGRASS, WITH A FOOT
OF WATER OR TWO.
INVOLVED IN AN AIR CRASH SOME TIME AGO, THE
SITUATION REALLY TRIED HIS SOUL.
WITH TWO STRONG ARMS AND HIS GUIDING WISDOM THAT
NIGHT HE HELPED SAVE MANY LIVES IN THE MIDDLE OF
THE CONFUSING FRIGHT.
HIS NAME IS BUD MARQUIS AND WE LOVE HIM SO, A
MAN WHO CARES, AND HAS A HEART OF GOLD.
A SPECIAL KIND OF MAN IN A WORLD, THAT SOMETIMES
SEEMS SO COLD!
I'M SURE HE WILL ALWAYS BE REMEMBERED FOR HIS
HEART AND SOUL.
