Come on in I’ll flash you a smile Then we’ll sit and talk awhile I’ll tell you a joke Have a drink or two A smoke with our laughs Even if it’s not ‘good for you’ We’ll talk about things All the ‘way back thens’ All the things we do now And watch the big grins We’ll eat good food That’s what we do We grow it then cook it We’re a hell of a crew I’ll do the hogs You run the plow It’s what we were taught It’s all we know how Today though, I’m done But not gone for long You can find me in chair Out fishing my pond When the wind blows so soft You hear the jump of a fish It’s only me sending you a big kiss Or we can walk through the woods Find a mushroom or two This time with me I’ll be walking with you Fishing, mushrooming, and peach cream pie Lots of cheesy tators, please First bite, you’ll see why You see family, I’m not far away You’ll see me all over throughout your day Where ever you go, each time you see me I will now live in your memory SASK
