Sandy |
On a cool colonial veranda |
He used to sit there with his pipe |
I was eight years old when he was eighty |
He was the hero in my life |
And the captain from the Salvation Army would say; |
«Sandy |
Thank you for listening to my sermon today |
There’s a soul I can save |
With the money that you gave |
You’re a very good soul, you are |
Sandy.» |
Sandy, Sandy |
Gray and grizzly |
Told me I should never tell a lie |
Answered all my «Why?"s |
Sometimes dried my eyes |
And told me 'bout his Foreman in the Sky |
In a boarding house behind the station |
The found him ailing by himself |
He was fighting the Devil’s black water |
And said that he didn’t need no help |
And the captain from the Salvation Army said; |
«Sandy |
You know that there will always be a bed |
In our Haven for you |
There’s tobacco to chew |
You’re a very sick man, you are |
Sandy.» |
Sandy, Sandy |
Gray and grizzly |
Told me I should never tell a lie |
Answered all my «Why?"s |
Sometimes dried my eyes |
And told me 'bout his Foreman in the Sky |
There were only four at the gravesite |
The wake, and to carry him along |
There was me, and the council undertaker |
My father, and the captain and his song |
And the captain from the Salvation Army cried; |
«Sandy |
I was so glad that I could be there when you died |
The new world could do |
With a few more like you |
You’re a very good soul, you are |
Sandy.» |
Sandy, Sandy |
Gray and grizzly |
Told me I should never tell a lie |
Answered all my «Why?"s |
Sometimes dried my eyes |
And told me 'bout his Foreman in the Sky |
Told me 'bout his Foreman in the Sky |
Now he’s gone to see his Foreman in the Sky |
