Font:      
Align:    
  • (Precious sacred seems unfold)
  • Twenty one boy twenty one
  • Now you were just a young feller son the night your mama died
  • You don't remember but we were right there by mama's side
  • Your ma had a sickness son all the works she'd done
  • And she prayed all her life that God would let her raise you to be twenty one
  • Now me and you never moved the town boy we just kept on living here
  • And life's been pretty tough son with the past twenty one years
  • I remember when you were just a little feller I sued to take you to church
  • And it seemed my boy in the choir
  • With the other boys kinda give old dad's heart a jerk
  • You sounded like a little angel boy and to me you sure did look sweet
  • Even though your little ragged britches came halfway to your little feet
  • After the service was over it filled your papa's heart full of joy
  • When the preacher petted you on your little head
  • Looked over me and say you sure got a fine little boy
  • Then me and you we'd get in the wagon and you'd look over me and smile
  • Then I'd hand you the line and let you drive the team for a while
  • Yeah boy me and you had lot of fun we smiled through a lot of tears
  • And I wish you could have been a boy for a many million years
  • But if it's true son that time takes its toe
  • That's why the boys grow up and men grow old
  • Yeah life's been tough for you and me too son
  • And I prayed to God to let me raise ye to be twenty one
  • But tonight my life's bout over and my work on earth's bout done
  • I guess I'll go to see the Lord and live with your mama
  • Cause tonight son you're twenty one
