Oakland Plantation

I have seen many southern plantations During my years of travel It really opens your eyes, my friend And lets the past beautifully unravel It’s like ducking back a hundred years Or possibly even more You see how folks back then lived Hear wonderful stories and folklore’s There is always a lady of the manor To greet you at the huge double doors Stepping in from an extraordinary porch And onto beautiful hard wood floors You can see the old-fashioned kitchen With dishes and pans from back then Oh, how wonderful to see The way time used to be spent The gardens are lovely and fun The barns and outbuildings too We enjoyed the Oakland plantation If only I could show it to you!
