the dead south - son of ambrose lyrics

Loading...

my name is william and i’m the son of ambrose
i was born near that cast iron bridge
my mother alice, she taught me to be a kind man
so i took it and shared it with my friends

i went to war at the age of 21
and i came back with my memories and my gun
took care of the family, my brother, too
bareknuckle boxing every day at noon

when i came back from war
there was something missing there
i had a finger, so naked and so bare
where would i ever find, my one true love
if i’m just patient she’ll come from above

one day at the neighbors, i caught a flare
i fell in love with that norwegian glare
we had a hippy, a cowboy, and a scholar
little tomboy and a toddler too

in 1947 i did my best
started what you see before and i stood the test
well life ain’t always easy
in fact, it’s pretty tough
i hope you learned a thing or two about how i raised you up
cause it’s the best d+mn thing i ever done
that was a cold year in 1977
i left you all when i died and gone to heaven
never got to say goodbye
never got to give you hugs
just remember, i love you all so much

in 1947 i met my wife
her name is phyllis and i made her my bride
had a family with 5 kids
most beautiful d+mn thing i ever did
oh, in 1947 i met my wife
her name is phyllis and i made her my bride
had a family with 5 kids
most beautiful d+mn thing i ever did
oh, my family, it will be alright
just hold onto each other through this life
oh, my family, it’ll be alright
keep shining your light
