A word or two to Mary please write a letter for me
|
That's what my buddy said to me today
|
I couldn't keep from crying sad eyes're looking at me
|
He said I'll tell you what I wanted to say
|
Oh I don't mind dyin' I just hate to leave you alone
|
And I wish that I could watch the children grow
|
But there's no use denyin' I won't be coming back home
|
Just a word or two to you before I go
|
|
Down on my knees beside him I begged my buddy to live
|
I told the Lord to please take me instead
|
But a word or two to Mary was all my buddy could give
|
And just these words were all your husband said
|
Oh I don't mind dyin'...
|
[ steel ]
|
A word or two to Mary I must have some of my own
|
He was the truest friend I ever had
|
I'll keep writing letters to her help the children along
|
Tell them in a way that it's from their dad
|
He didn't mind dyin' he just hated to leave you alone
|
And he wished that he could see his children grow
|
I'll be standing by 'em as I know he'd want me to
|
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
|
And write a word or two to Mary as they grow
|
