JAMIE’S SONG

with D. Phillip Caron

Old demons sleep

By the dark of star and moon

Except for me and one restless face—

That’s Jamie haunting that Wall

The grass grows green

And the water runs clear

But no one knows where

Jamie lies today

Chorus:

Some men give, and some men win

Some never grow to be men

Some men drink, some men sleep

And some men walk the midnight streets

Jamie has gone a soldier

Out of Quang Tri

Into their Viet guns

We lay in fire where Jamie came to pain

I held him close, and as he begged for grace

I used my knife, and Jamie died that way

Chorus

Repeat verses 1 & 2 except

“No one knows *but me*

Where Jamie lies today”

Final Chorus
