me, That's what my buddy said to -day; I couldn't keep from cryin', sad me, He said I'll tell you say. Chorus: Oh, I don't mind dyin', I just alone, And I wish that I could watch the children grow; But there's back home, Just a word or two to go. Down on my knees beside him I live, I told the Lord to please take -stead; But a word or two to Mary was give, And just these words were said. Chorus A word or two to Mary, I own, He was the truest friend had; I'll keep writing letters to her, along, Tell them in a way Dad. He didn't mind dyin'. he just alone, And he wished that he could see his grow; I'll be standing by them, as I to, And write a word or two to grow. And write a word or two to grow. ************************
