paul thorn - buckskin jones illegitimate son lyrics
buck skin jones’ illegitimate son
he was a singin’ cowboy
of the silver screen
my mama got his autograph
in 1963
she was young
and she was starstruck
they had a one night stand.
but he died right after fan fair on a train to birmingham.
she took me out to see him
at a drive in picture show.
i sat there eatin’ milk duds watchin’ “land of the navajo”.
she smiled when he caught the bad guy, and rode off with the girl.
i wanted to be just like him,
the greatest cowboy
in the world.
chorus
she kept that autographed picture on top of the tv.
i remember my neighbor sayin’ how much he looked like me.
when i was old enough
she told me who my daddy was.
she said i was buck skin jones’ illegitimate son.
they called in all the family
they day my mama died.
and everybody wondered
why i barely cried.
i knew she was up in heaven,
and that’s a pretty good place to be.
she’s finally with the man she loves, and that’s alright with me.
