To my little boy, unborn and safe //
As you grow old, as you will some day //
Remember the words your daddy said today //
Your momma had quite the poker face //
Your daddy tried to walk as a man of faith //
But steeped in so much disgrace, my boy that's how you were made //
Keep in your mind these words //
Remember the wars and the gold your fathers fought for
And carry on this old kentucky soul //
O my sweet boy //
With eyes as dark as undrank wine //
It was for clay that your grandpa mined //
But your mamma Sue couldn't make him mind //
O and yes he sinned! Yet still a Saint //
His old heart it never grew faint //
I wish you would learn from him my son //
This war is never won
