I got a friend his name is Tom

his granddaddy’s name was Jesse

now Jesse is gone like yesterday’s song he taught Tom that each day is a blessing

my friend Tom

my friend Tom Morrow

Tom Morrow he the man

you got pain

you got sickness or sorrow

he’ll be there as quick as he can

his dad is Todd it’s Todd Alexander

for short they call him Todd A

he can seem a scary guy with thick wrists and a voice of thunder when the heir walks in the sire runs away

my friend Tom

my friend Tom Morrow

Tom Morrow he the man

his mom is Hope she had but a single child

she lays all her daffodil wishes on him

good thing he wakes each day shining a brand new face that’s my boy she beams as the light streams in

my friend Tom

my friend Tom Morrow

Tom Morrow he the man

now there’s a tingle in the east oh hail ye resilient beast

you’re not a fool for grinning

you might ache between the eyes you might slip don’t be surprised it’s not just your head that’s spinning

my friend Tom

my friend Tom Morrow

Tom Morrow he the man
