Isaac Haines

Brother said don't be sadSomeday the war, will reach an end

And we'll carry home on our backs all our friends

Father taught, slow and meek

And showed us all how we ought I speak

But one day fell, in the reservoir after far to much to drink

Preacher spoke, of a kingdom come

When all good things will come undone

Where he will meet for the second time his new born son

So I dug a hole in my mothers garden

And I laid my sister down by the water fountain

All was good, well we cut down that tree that year to let the light shine in

Now we're getting old my family and I

We feel it in our bones, but we're doing fine

We got our pills and our medicine drills to keep from loosing our minds

Well lay me down, down by the river side

And let me watch the sunset in your eyes

Cause God knows that good men don't always make it home Some times
