(McKinley & David Torn)
He said, "I'll bring you something nice when I
come home again You know your boy
loves you but Ma, this town is caving in"
So I packed some food and all the money I had
He said, "You know I'll pay you back
I'll get a job in Lincoln and I'll send you every cent"
I said, "You've always been my lucky child
so I know you'll be just fine"
But Lord, I confess, I'm scared to death
Please keep him in your sight
Please keep him in your sight
Take him by the hand
I ask nothing else for myself,
Just watch over that young man
You see, he's always been my lucky child
so I'm sure he'll do just fine
But Lord, I confess, I'm scared to death
Please keep him in your sight
Please keep him in your sight
