ethel can you hold |
|
we're almost through another year |
|
then we will ring around |
|
and sit with you for seven days |
|
just a little more |
|
the taste will be bitter 'til we reach our mark |
|
we will reach for gold |
|
we always do what we've been told |
|
when you call me to your end |
|
i will put my things beside your bed |
|
and where the others will not bend |
|
i would be the one to stand instead |
|
ethel don't get down |
|
we're almost through another year |
|
we will all be fine |
|
we come together when we're called |
|
the men to bear your weight |
|
are lining up from tall to short |
|
and the tree left in your name |
|
with a pot of soil from each of us |
