My Sons Were Tall
(Abigail Meyers)

My sons were tall
tall like you
but they both died
in World War Two

both in planes
that fell from the sky
one telegram came in November
and the other, the following July

In their youth they shared
a love for flight
then the war came
and they went off to fight
in their uniforms
they were such handsome young men
I have right here
a picture of them...

It’s so nice of you
to come here and entertain
I can’t tell you how much
it brightens up our day
I’m 92 and you, you seem so young
and tall. ...just like my sons

Mudboy
(Bill "Mudboy" White)

Come on mud boy
get yourself back home
I said, come on mud boy
get yourself back home
you’ve been playing on the banks
of the Tennessee since dawn

Lord help you if I see
mud beneath your nails
lord help you if I see
mud beneath your nails
your daddy’ll whup you good
when he gets home from jail

I worked on the Jasper
to Winfield line
I worked on the Jasper
to Winfield line
then came here up north in ’59
