Text Any textual data included in the document Ballad of Helen's Barn The insurance came when Charlie was dead Leaving Helen with six mouths that had to be fed. She built a barn and painted it red And the townspeople turned to her and said, "Helen what you're doing just ain't right- Building a dance hall in a town this white. Shoulda' built a church - a roof for your head. But not a dance hall, and painted it red." Her answer above the jingle of coins firmly clears: "It takes a lot of cheers To dam a widow's tears." Helen's Barn opened for dancing on Saturday night. Folks came a-clogging' their feet feeling light. Where many a youth first saw the light Of joy in dancing away fears in the night. It was Helen's answer to their calls and their jeers: "It takes a lit of cheers to dam a widow's tears." Fifty years of Saturday night digging shins with joy As many a man-danced away there from being a boy. Helen's young'uns were schooled, fed and kept warm With money she earned at her old red barn. As hoe-down music drowned any complaint To answer those who don't recognize a saint. "It takes a lot of cheers To dam a widow's tears."   -Kate Gillson Original Format The type of object, such as painting, sculpture, paper, photo, and additional data Song Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
