Don't cry for me my loved ones for I'm soaring above the bright blue, don't cry for me my loved ones for it's me who should feel sorry for you! But in heaven there are no sorrows, that's part of the human side Why right now I'm eating a bowl of Bluebell, and having seconds of buttermilk pie! You see we never have to watch our weight, Count calories or cholesterol, We never feel bad, never grow old Never take tylenol! My brothers E H, Warner, Eugene and I Just finished a game of 42 Brad I wish Duward and you would hurry along Cause I need a partner in a game of horseshoes! This morning I looked out my mansions window And saw quite a spectacular thing in my green pastures I saw a whole field full of bucks The kind in Texas Trophy Hunters Magazine! Now I know you might think I'm streaching the truth, when I tell you this fishing tale While I was by the still waters, I threw in a line And caught a catfish the size of a whale! Well he put up quite a fight Almost sunk my boat that day But I landed that rascal as you might expect Cause up here the big ones don't ever get away! Bobo, Glenda, Michelle, my twins Judy and Eugene, grab your families and get on up here or you'll miss the fried catfish and homemade ice cream! Cause I'm throwing a party for the Angels We're gonna have a mighty good time today Besides I need help frying all this up You ought to see the size of this fishes fillet! Listen! the saints are playing a little blue grass, They make Branson seem mighty slow, Why Moses can sure play a good fiddle and St. Peter picks a mighty mean banjo! Cynthia my love I miss you, But the fish bite up here all the day long when you come could you bring my fishing pole and a couple of buckets that we can sit on! you see I got a pretty place picked out by the river, you'll find me waiting in the shade of a cottonwood tree it kind of reminds me of the Nueces river where we camped out on our first Anniversary! Yeah I'm having a mighty fine time here, There's no rattlesnakes, spiders or thorns only one problem, there's nothing broke up here, for me to tinker with, fix or work on! Ya know we all got a day like today coming But for me it ain't really that bad I guess I would a been pretty upset though If somebody here wasn't sad! Yeah there's lots of Bradfute's in heaven Some I only heard of or just barely knew There's some that I thought, just wouldn't make it up here So Cameron, I reckon there's still hope for you! So don't cry for me my loved ones It's for you whom I should pray, for having to deal with worldly troubles that really don't matter much anyway! Don't cry for me my love ones But make God the center of your communion, So when we all get to heaven we'll gather around And have a great big Bradfute family reunion! |
