We Used To Stand So Tall

Hush now darling my momma said

Your daddy's worried bout the rents(?)

One day you'll learn about the enemy

You have to fight so you'll be free



Another day will dawn

Our country will be strong

God knows we can't go wrong



Be good darling do as we say

One day you'll learn to work for pay

And you will understand that we are poor

You must work hard so you'll have more



Another day will dawn

You will grow up so strong

We know you will be long



Listen father there is no work

It seems that no one sees my worth

I have no money to pay my rent

I cannot pay back what was lent



Listen mother I lost my man

He was shot down in a foreign land

The captain cannot see what he died for

They only tell me we're at war



Another time will come

You'll see what we have done

I only hope we may be forgiven



Another rain will fall

And wash away our song(?)

We used to stand so tall 3x
