The Statler Brothers — Some I Wrote

Some I Wrote That day when it's all over And they come to carry me And you're wearin' black and walkin' slow With the rest of the family And the choir stands to sing a song Make sure it's one of mine I had a few more tunes that I wanted to write But I ran out of time Chorus Some I wrote for money, Some I wrote for fun Some I wrote and threw away, never sang to any one Some I wrote for mama a couple of them aren't through I've lost track of all the rest, but the most I wrote for you That day when it's all over And you're settin' all alone And they come to ask what you want Written on my stone Tell'em when I was born and died The year and the day If there's room for something else Here's what you can say Some he wrote for money, Some he wrote for fun Some he wrote and threw away, never sang to any one Some he wrote for mama I've forgotten two or three I've lost track of all the rest, but the most he wrote for me
