Carmel Pie (Baptist Meeting) A fifty year old treat, stays with me still, Eating some carmel pie, in dear old Amissville. The long tables were piled, with all kinds of food, If you did not partake they thought ’ you were rude. Most folks were hearty, obesity wasn’t a sin, They took pleasure in eating, nearly all were kin. There was a roast pig, with an apple in his mouth, < Cooked as no other, except in the deep South. I remember other things, but the one until I die, Is the delicious taste of that carmel P'e.
