Charles Uniack
By Phil Berbig
He was a good friend of mine though we never met,
His name is one that I'll never forget
He was 5 foot 10, brown hair and brown eyes
He was a good good friend for so many years
He bought me wine and he bought me beer
I was 17 but with him I was 25
Oh Charles, you never knew my name
But when I met you my life changed
I found your wallet laying underneath a tree
With an ID that matched perfectly
Charles Uniack, you got me through High School
And all those goofy teen age years
When the weekend came your ID was my pass
For purchasing wine whiskey and beer
There was that date that I had that Friday night
And I got a couple bottles of wine
And Shirley Thomas really was impressed
Oh thanks to you old Charles my friend
We had us a real good time
And Shirley sure looked good when she's undressed
Only a week before she thougth I was strange
Then all of that sure changed
I found your wallet laying underneath a tree
With an ID that matched perfectly
If I ever have a chance to shake your hand
I'd slap you on the back,
And I'd take you for a night out on the town
When I turned 21 we parted ways,
But I never will forget
How good it was that Charlie'd been around
