Lyrics Some I Wrote - The Statler Brothers

Some I Wrote

That day when it’s all over
And they come to carry me
And you’re wearin' black and walkin' slow
With the rest of the family
And the choir stands to sing a song
Make sure it’s one of mine
I had a few more tunes that
I wanted to write
But I ran out of time
Some I wrote for money, Some I wrote for fun
Some I wrote and threw away, never sang to any one
Some I wrote for mama a couple of them aren’t through
I’ve lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you
That day when it’s all over
And you’re settin' all alone
And they come to ask what you want
Written on my stone
Tell’em when I was born and died
The year and the day
If there’s room for something else
Here’s what you can say
Some he wrote for money, Some he wrote for fun
Some he wrote and threw away, never sang to any one
Some he wrote for mama I’ve forgotten two or three
I’ve lost track of all the rest, but the most he wrote for me
