darrell scott - with a memory like mine lyrics

Loading...

i can see that train a comin’
watch that big light shine this way
hear that whistle softly blowing

lord, it’s been an awful day
i watched him leave that friday morning
it was in the month of may
i told my son to be a good soldier
but return again some day

he was returned just one year later
but, i’ll not forget that day
the baggage car is where he traveled
in a casket where he lay

train man, keep your whistle blowing
make it moan and make it whine
you make a man feel mighty lonesome
with a memory like mine

in a little country graveyard
on a dark and dreary day
they laid a flag upon the casket
and the casket in the grave

i couldn’t stand it any longer
and i knew not how to pray
i cried, “oh lord, i hate to leave him
all alone beneath that clay”

i can see him as a baby
i can hear him call my name
i can feel him under fire
and see him rising from the flames

lord, if i could i’d trade places
i would gladly give my all
i’d wrap that flag around me like a blanket
and listen for the clods to fall

- darrell scott
