(Precious sacred seems unfold) Twenty one boy
twenty one Now you were just a young feller son
the night your mama died You don't remember but we
were right there by mama's side Your ma had a
sickness son all the works she'd done And she
prayed all her life that God would let her raise
you to be twenty one Now me and you never moved
the town boy we just kept on living here And
life's been pretty tough son with the past twenty
one years I remember when you were just a little
feller I sued to take you to church And it seemed
my boy in the choir With the other boys kinda give
old dad's heart a jerk You sounded like a little
angel boy and to me you sure did look sweet Even
though your little ragged britches came halfway to
your little feet After the service was over it

preacher petted you on your little head Looked
over me and say you sure got a fine little boy
Then me and you we'd get in the wagon and you'd
look over me and smile Then I'd hand you the line
and let you drive the team for a while Yeah boy me
and you had lot of fun we smiled through a lot of
tears And I wish you could have been a boy for a
many million years But if it's true son that time
takes its toe That's why the boys grow up and men
grow old Yeah life's been tough for you and me too
son And I prayed to God to let me raise ye to be
twenty one But tonight my life's bout over and my
work on earth's bout done I guess I'll go to see
the Lord and live with your mama Cause tonight son
you're twenty one
