/ hadn't much chanst days gone by to
study iogafee,
So my mind is rather hazy about where
our boy has gone,
But his ma showed me paper that
some jogafer had drawn
And we started where we're liyin,' and
we crossed lot O. land,
And we went across an ocean, me
a-holding' of her land
And a-follerin the finger of the other
hand that went
over land and over ocean to where he
has pitched his tent.
And where he will do his fghtin' for
to make ali people free,
And l hope that God forgives the pride
his mother feels and me
When we think of him way yonder,
straight and tall and clean and
true,
Helpin' do the things his country has
been called upon to do.
We was always proud, reckon, sence
he was a little tad
The day he was born his comm made
our hearts so full and glad
That my heart swole when | looked
down in his mothers smilin' face
And went and told the critters, every
critter on the place.
An he'd lay in clothes basket on a
pillow in the shade,
OF tree, his ma beside him, an the
burrows that I made
Was the crookedest I reckon that fell
Ter ever drew,
For no matter where l started they
J would work back to them two!
And I'd kiss the babys mother and I'd
hug the baby then
1 would say giddap and start in on my
plowin' once again,
Only to come back to love them at the
end of every row
IBLEEVE there's heaven yonder, but
KNOW there's one below.
Then he growed and went to college
] when the deestrict school was
done,
Went off there to study farmin', and
went at it like twas fun!
Then he showed me about farmin'-I
had farmed since was growed
But his knowledge made me wonder at
the little that I knowed
And that I had got by with, and then
he heard his country's call
And he bent and kissed his mother and
shook hands with me, and all
Of the farm seems strange without
him, and as lonesome as can be,
But we're prouder now than ever of
our boy, his ma and me.
For if he had been a slacker-not that
he COULD have been that
And had let the others battle whilst he
skulked where he was at
We'd have thought that we was fail
ures, and that we had lived in
vain
We can stand his loss l reckon, stand
the sorrow and the pain
If the Lord does send that to US, and go
heads-up just the same;
For there is a pride in sorrow, but
there amt no pride in shame,
And we couldn't have stood that, and,
thank the Lord, we don't have
to!
