Old Man Blues
Old man raised his boy to be his own
Happy days they had when he was young
But now he's gone a-fighting far away
Father, will you meet him when he comes home?
His room down the hall still looks the same
With the toys you gave him when he was young
But you sold your flesh and blood, your name
To the fools that sit in Washington
Father, you gave your boy away
Father, your boy is gone
You taught him to be kind and feel no shame
You brought him up to be a man
But now his strength and kindness are gone
You are old and weak, yet you remain
Father, you gave your boy away
Father, your boy is gone
Meet him at the station today
The flag he bore is laid upon his breast
Carry him and lay him in his grave
Your sweet love, laid to rest
Father, you gave your boy away
Father, your boy is gone
Father, you gave your boy away
Father, your boy is gone
Happy days they had when he was young
But now he's gone a-fighting far away
Father, will you meet him when he comes home?
His room down the hall still looks the same
With the toys you gave him when he was young
But you sold your flesh and blood, your name
To the fools that sit in Washington
Father, you gave your boy away
Father, your boy is gone
You taught him to be kind and feel no shame
You brought him up to be a man
But now his strength and kindness are gone
You are old and weak, yet you remain
Father, you gave your boy away
Father, your boy is gone
Meet him at the station today
The flag he bore is laid upon his breast
Carry him and lay him in his grave
Your sweet love, laid to rest
Father, you gave your boy away
Father, your boy is gone
Father, you gave your boy away
Father, your boy is gone
