On the fingers of one hand on the fingers of one hand
|
Life can all be counted on the fingers of one hand
|
|
Count your little finger on the day you born
|
See the fingernail it's protection from the thorn
|
Protection from the thorn of life you choosed you as you grow
|
The nail is a guardian until you're a child no more
|
On the fingers of one hand...
|
|
Count your second finger as you come of age
|
Right and wrong is clearer when you reach this page
|
And when you meet a girl you love accordin' to life's plan
|
The day you age you count the middle finger of your hand
|
On the fingers of one hand...
|
|
When the Lord has blessed you with a tiny air
|
Count the final finger say a thankful prayer
|
Last of all you're countin' on the day your life is done
|
From birth to death is not in vain you live on through your son
|
On the fingers of one...
|
