A Big Valley Jingle

by Leona (Heathisforme)

 

 

Jarrod, Jarrod, the lawyer man

Taxes, crime, land is his game

Loving and passionate

Fatherly and unbiased

Jarrod Barkley is his name

 

Nick, Nick, the tender rancher

Branding, fencing, roping is his game

Tender on the inside,

Rough on the outside,

Nick Barkley is his name

 

Heath, Heath the lost son

Bustin’ broncs is his game

Loving and quiet

Slow to anger

Heath Barkley is his name

 

Gene, Gene the forgotten son

Medicine is his game

We don’t know much

As he disappeared soon after

Eugene Barkley was his name

 

Barkleys, Barkleys  everywhere

Ranching is their game

Nick and Heath share the land

Jarrod and Eugene take up the slack

Barkley is their name.

 

Victoria and Audra, the Barkley women

Duty and fun are their games

Victoria is the matriarch

Audra is the daughter

Victoria and Audra are their names.

 

Stockton, Stockton, the Californian town

Where ranching is the game

Cattle and horses

And sometimes sheep

Make fun of the family name

 

People, People, on the Barkley ranch

Where working is the game

Danger and violence

Playing to win

The Barkley Ranch is the name.

 

Leona, Leona, the Big Valley Fan

where writing is the game

Loving to write,

And having fun

Heathisforme is her name!
