Twenty One Lyrics - Ferlin Husky

(Precious sacred seems unfold) 

Twenty one boy twenty one 

Now you were just a young feller son the night your mama died 

You don't remember but we were right there by mama's side 

Your ma had a sickness son all the works she'd done 

And she prayed all her life that God would let her raise you to be twenty one 

Now me and you never moved the town boy we just kept on living here 

And life's been pretty tough son with the past twenty one years 

I remember when you were just a little feller I sued to take you to church

And it seemed my boy in the choir 

With the other boys kinda give old dad's heart a jerk 

You sounded like a little angel boy and to me you sure did look sweet 

Even though your little ragged britches came halfway to your little feet 

After the service was over it filled your papa's heart full of joy 

When the preacher petted you on your little head 

Looked over me and say you sure got a fine little boy 

Then me and you we'd get in the wagon and you'd look over me and smile 

Then I'd hand you the line and let you drive the team for a while 

Yeah boy me and you had lot of fun we smiled through a lot of tears 

And I wish you could have been a boy for a many million years 

But if it's true son that time takes its toe 

That's why the boys grow up and men grow old

I guess I'll go to see the Lord and live with your mama 

Cause tonight son you're twenty one
