Leith Ross — Tommy

[Verse 1] Strong as an ox, he was tough as a bull He had stories and poems and dirty jokes I came in running with my brother in tow We had dirt on our knees, climbing on his feet to show him [Verse 2] He hardly spoke and he cheated at poker If someone got angry, he'd crack a joke Didn't always go over, but the kids would laugh Then he'd play in the corner 'till he closed the gap [Chorus] Oh Tommy I love that one You used to sing it when you were young Play it again, my love For the kids to remember when they grow up [Verse 3] I miss my grandfather, the way that wе were Singing out of time, 'causе he never finishes words A house full of instruments now safely with his kids And his music in my bones and in my body when I was built [Chorus] Oh Tommy I love that one You used to sing it when you were young Play it again, my love For the kids to remember when they grow up Tommy I love that one You used to sing it when you were young Play it again, my love For the kids to remember us
