T.J.'s Last Ride |
| Saturday in the town as we buried TJ Brown |
| Good man spent his life on the K Roll ferry line |
| He was just a man nothing grand just a man |
| But I never heard him treat no one unkind |
| He ferried model A’s to the Cape Cherado shore |
| Way before my poppa ever had a son |
| When I was eight or nine I would sit by his back porch |
| He would tell me stories from back in World War one |
| Let him down slow in the ground slow |
| Let him down slow while I dry my eyes |
| Let him down slow in the ground slow |
| Let him down slow it’s old TJ’s last ride |
| TJ’s wife passed on it was back in '61 |
| Seems like yesterday my my how time does fly |
| Still I would drop by and we’d sit and reminisce |
| And I’d stare across the river so as not to watch him cry |
| Let him down slow in the ground slow… |
| Well now here we stand with our memories and prayers |
| Mourning and crying down to the youngest child |
| And all that’s gathered here will remember TJ Brown |
| He will miss his river and we’ll miss his old smile |
| Let him down slow in the ground slow |
| Let him down slow while I dry my eyes |
| Let him down slow in the ground slow |
| Let him down slow it’s old TJ’s last ride |
| Let him down slow in the ground slow |
| Let him down slow while I dry my eyes |
| Let him down slow in the ground slow |
| Let him down slow it’s old TJ’s last ride |
