Вступление
[Intro]
A
[Verse 1]
D A
A young boy walked into the Somerset pool room
D A
All us ole boys were just standing around
D A
The kid said 'scuse me, do you know my daddy?
E A
He's dead and he's lying out there in the ground
[Verse 2]
D A
We told him that we surely knew Harry Walker
D A E
Known him for years was a good friend of ours
D A
The boy said well I want to get him a headstone
E A
I already went out and picked him some flowers
[Verse 3]
D A
We looked at each other - not having no money
D A
We ventured to ask, well, how much would it cost
D A
Two hundred dollars he said with his chest out
E A
And twenty more dollars to have it embossed
[Verse 4]
D A
He said you know daddy was real close to Jesus
D A E
He prayed every day long as I can recall
D A
But now I'm afraid when the Lord comes to get him
E7 A
He might not be able to find him at all
[Verse 5]
D A
Now me and my pals at the Somerset pool room
D A
Ain't famous for nothing but standing around broke
D A
But something about the sad teary eyed youngster
E A
Made us think that something was stuck in our throats
[Verse 6]
D A
So we got some moonshine and stole a few chickens
D A E
We passed round the word that a party was on
D A
We found some musicians and wood for a bonfire
E A
And we bush-hogged a place out on Harry's old farm
[Verse 7]
D A
We fixed up a bucket with harry's name on it
D A
We passed it around 'til it nearly was filled
D A
Two hundred and forty-six dollars collected
E A
More than enough there to pay off the bill
[Verse 8]
D A
A couple weeks later we sat in the pool room
D A E
And someone suggested since two weeks had passed
D A
Go out to the graveyard and look at the headstone
E A
And see what the young man had done with our cash
[Verse 9]
D A
Now, there on the hillside in shiny grey marble
D A E
A real pretty headstone that stated the fact
D A
All chiseled in stone there was written this message
E A
Ny name's Harry Walker and here's where I'm at
