the lonesome valley singers - goodbye curly head lyrics
[spoken over battle hymn of the republic]
there was no band, no flags, no ceremonial. there’s wasn’t even dramatic
a car honked outside and he said “well, that’s for me.”
he picked up his suitcase, and his mother said “you haven’t forgotten your gloves?”
he kissed his mother and held out his hand to me. “well, goodbye” he said
i took his hand, but all i could say was “good luck, son.”
the front door slammed and, that was that. another boy, gone to war
after the door closed behind him, i went upstairs
i went to what had been his room. it was in worse shape than usual
his bureau was littered with an incredible collection of things: letters, keys, invitations to parties he would not attend
clothing was scattered about
i went to my room. on a wall was a picture of a little boy, his toothless grin framed in blond curls
the same boy who had just told us goodbye
suddenly, a strange thing happened. objects seem to come alive and whisper to me
the house was full of soft voices
they led me to the attic, to a box of toy soldiers, a bent trumpet, a football helmet, a homemade guitar, schoolbooks, faded photographs, a half_completed stamp album, a penny bank with the lid pried off, telegrams, a baptismal certificate, a pair of old track shoes, and more photographs. one taken on the memorial, first day of long pants
well, curly head, you’re a man now
i hated to see you leave our home, and close the door behind you
but, i think i would not have halted you if i could
i cannot pretend that i am not sad, but i am proud of my soldier son too
goodbye, curly head
goodbye, son
