My Boys Lyrics

My Boys
(Porter Wagoner)

(Spoken by Porter Wagoner)

Don Warden
Don came into my world when I had just first begun
He stuck with me in the hard old days
And I think as much of him as I do my own son
He built me up when I was down
And the way was hard to find
But he was on my side in all that we tried
And sometimes we wouldn't even have a dime.

Speck Rhodes
Ha, ha, Speck came next and with him brought his happiness to me
And he'd never fail to cheer me up with his chequered suit and his comedy
You know sometimes the crowds were so small
They wouldn't hardly laugh at all but ol' Speck didn't mind
Ge'd worked just as hard as if he was in Carnegie Hall.

Buck Trent
Times were still rough when I hired Buck
And he added so much with his banjo
He worked mighty, mighty hard even when we were tired
Cause he believed in me and the showPorter Wagoner - My Boys - http://motolyrics.com/porter-wagoner/my-boys-lyrics.html
I explained at the start that time would be hard
And that there wouldn't be much pay
But he said I can take it 'cause you're gonna make it
And I know there'll be pay someday.

George McCormick
Then George came with us and added his touch
Of rhythm to brighten the show
His singing is so fine and he smiles all the time
And helps shorten the hours on the road
He never complains about the work or the strain he's happy to do his part
And George like al the others has a special place in my heart.

Mack Magaha
Mack came then and brought with him much color to add to the show
He wins the hearts of every crowd no matter where we go
He fiddles around from town to town and dances all the while
Together we've worked many many shows and traveled many miles.

Jerry Carrigan
The drums of Little Jack put the final touch
To complete my band that I admire so much
You know every man has something that he's proud of and enjoys
But no man could be as proud of anything as I am of my boys.
