(McKinley & David Torn)
He said, I`ll bring you something nice when I
come home again. You know your boy
loves you but Ma, this town is caving in.
So I packed some food and all the money I had.
He said, You know I`ll pay you back.
I`ll get a job in Lincoln and I`ll send you every cent.
I said, You`ve always been my lucky child
so I know you`ll be just fine.
But Lord, I confess, I`m scared to death.
Please keep him in your sight.
Please keep him in your sight.
Take him by the hand.
I ask nothing else for myself,
Just watch over that young man.
You see, he`s always been my lucky child
so I`m sure he`ll do just fine.
But Lord, I confess, I`m scared to death.
Please keep him in your sight.
Please keep him in your sight.
