The Will |
| We gathered with the lawyer for the reading of the will |
| Mama sat there quietly between all of us kids |
| Then he opened up the papers and my father’s words were read |
| You could’ve heard a pin drop when we heard the things he said |
| To all my loving family I leave this old house |
| Just split up all the money and pass it all around |
| But now that that’s all settled and it’s all said and done |
| Here’s a few things that I’ll leave with each and every one |
| (Spoken) |
| To the boys I leave the family name, the honesty and pride |
| And to both my precious girls I leave a million lullabies |
| (Sang) |
| Sing them to your children and let them know you care |
| (Spoken) |
| Take what strength I gave to you and be patient, kind and fair |
| To all I leave undying love let no one shed a tear |
| 'Cause I was the luckiest man on earth in the time that I was here |
| And finally to mother, who’s love was ever true |
| (Sang) |
| The greatest gift a man can give I leave my heart to you |
| We all just kind of sat there not knowing what to say |
| Then mama looked at all of us and said I’d like to pray |
| So right there in that office in words so soft and still |
| We all swore that we’d honor the things in daddy’s will… |
