Papa's Wagon |
| I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon |
| Happy as a king upon a throne |
| Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet |
| Riding in a brand new wagon going home |
| Today is the first time I’ve been home in many a years |
| Remembering how things used to be I can’t hold back the tears |
| The house is barely standing and the barn has rotted down |
| And someone planted trees all over Papa’s farming ground |
| The weeds had almost hidden papa’s wagon standing there |
| I thought how long it’s been since gentle hands touched it with care |
| I remember when he bought it even Mama went along |
| He walked to led the mules to town and proudly brought it home |
| I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon |
| Happy as a king upon a throne |
| Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet |
| Riding in a brand new wagon going home |
| I remember Tammy Jones that lived the next house down |
| She was in the wagon every time we went to town |
| And when I told her of my plans she cried and said you’re wrong |
| But I just wouldn’t listen so I ran away from home |
| Too young to get a job I robbed a man in Frisco yard |
| The wagon I had rode next was driven by a guard |
| Mam and Pap they kept my secret till their dying day |
| That’s why no one could find me when they both had passed a way |
| And I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon |
| Happy as a king upon a throne |
| Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet |
| Riding in a brand new wagon going home |
| Riding in a brand new wagon going home… |
