Lyrics
Shady Row Jeffrey J. McIntyre/Samuel J. Harris 2005/2006 I went to see an old friend Who died too young to know About the folks that lie beside him Along this Shady Row Twenty candles on his cake Death didn’t take a holiday And all the waves that he would make Are only ripples in this place Now his name is carved in stone And I suppose his sprits flown Far beyond the great unknown I pray that he will make it home And I will remember him Along this shady row He lays beside John J. McKay Died in 1788 Fought to make our freedom great Helped to form the U S A Here lays James Montgomery Tate Died when he was only eight A simple virus sealed his fate Man we’ve come a long, long way And all these names caved on a stone Are traces of a spirit flown Far beyond the great unknown I pray that they all make it home Lets remember them Along this shady row And hear lays Mable Ann Crochet Died when she was old and gray A life well lived she died in peace Wish every life could end this way Here’s a stone without a date Reserved for one who lives and waits To join a loved one to this place A destination no one escapes And every name caved on a stone Reminds me my live is just a loan Someday when my spirits flown Far beyond the great unknown Will you remember me Along this shady row I went to see an old friend Who died to young to know About the folks that lay beside him Along this shady row copyright 2005/2006 Jeff McIntyre
