[David Myles - Ballad For A Young Man in memory of Rob Tingley lyrics]
The news it traveled quickly
The news that he was gone
He had a wife and family
He'd be buried by the dawn
My mother's voice it trembled
When she told me on the phone
I didn't have to ask much
To know just what was wrong
She said I'm scared cause I've been lucky
Lucky up til now
And we both know how easy, luck can run out
They said he was such a nice boy
Never done no one no wrong
He always had such a good heart
He was still so young but mama, mama, mama
Won't you stay on the line
Mama can you help me
Can you help me keep from crying
Because I'm scared cause I've been lucky
Lucky up til now
And we both know how easy luck can run out
The news that he was gone
He had a wife and family
He'd be buried by the dawn
My mother's voice it trembled
When she told me on the phone
I didn't have to ask much
To know just what was wrong
She said I'm scared cause I've been lucky
Lucky up til now
And we both know how easy, luck can run out
They said he was such a nice boy
Never done no one no wrong
He always had such a good heart
He was still so young but mama, mama, mama
Won't you stay on the line
Mama can you help me
Can you help me keep from crying
Because I'm scared cause I've been lucky
Lucky up til now
And we both know how easy luck can run out
