[00:00.00]Papa's Wagon - Ray Lynam/Carmol Taylor
[00:12.73]I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon
[00:17.61]Happy as a king upon a throne
[00:22.45]Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet
[00:26.95]Riding in a brand new wagon going home
[00:31.98]Today is the first time I've been home in many a years
[00:37.04]Remembering how things used to
[00:38.62]Be I can't hold back the tears
[00:41.83]The house is barely standing
[00:43.56]And the barn has rotted down
[00:46.67]And someone planted trees all
[00:48.68]Over Papa's farming ground
[00:52.81]The weeds had almost hidden
[00:54.61]Papa's wagon standing there
[00:57.54]I thought how long it's been since
[00:59.40]Gentle hands touched it with care
[01:02.29]I remember when he bought
[01:03.93]It even Mama went along
[01:07.33]He walked to led the mules to town
[01:09.40]And proudly brought it home
[01:13.48]I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon
[01:18.45]Happy as a king upon a throne
[01:23.35]Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet
[01:27.81]Riding in a brand new wagon going home
[01:40.63]I remember Tammy Jones
[01:42.67]That lived the next house down
[01:45.31]She was in the wagon every time we went to town
[01:50.11]And when I told her of my plans
[01:52.20]She cried and said you're wrong
[01:54.89]But I just wouldn't listen so I ran away from home
[02:00.73]Too young to get a job I robbed a man in Frisco yard
[02:05.78]The wagon I had rode next was driven by a guard
[02:10.65]Mam and Pap they kept my secret till their dying day
[02:15.20]That's why no one could find me
[02:17.17]When they both had passed a way
[02:21.49]And I can see us now riding in a brand new wagon
[02:26.42]Happy as a king upon a throne
[02:31.27]Papa wearing overalls and Mama with her bonnet
[02:35.84]Riding in a brand new wagon going home
[02:40.92]And i can see us now
[02:42.77]Riding in a brand new wagon
